Pros

The company values are extremely customer and employee orientated. Customer and employee success is of paramount importance to Guidewire. This is evident in the continuous employee training and development, the openness for employees to move to different roles within Guidewire, the annual performance review of employees which is the basis of annual employee bonuses and promotion. It is also evident in Guidewire's 100% track record of successful customer implementations and a strong customer support organization.

Cons

There is a value of minimum hierarchy within Guidewire, thus there is limited opportunity to move into management positions. But there is still a very well defined path of career progression for all employees.

Pros

NA, can't think of anything positive anymore. It's a micromanaging mess.

Cons

Guidewire makes majors shift every 2 years and the last one to take PgM out of PD into its own department is a micromanaging nightmare. We have more status meetings and spreadsheets to update than time to do any work anymore. 3 places to update if I want to take PTO. 7am and 7pm meetings are now the norm. 6 bosses in 10 years, no one can make up their mind on the direction of the company, projects start and are abandoned constantly.
