Pros

shares in the company which you are only allowed to vest at given times

Cons

If you like working crazy hours (but being told your work/life balance is important), get no recognition for your efforts (but be told that rewards are based upon merits), no time to grow because your priority is your customer, and then be told that because you didn't grow as an employee, you won't get the promotion your manager had dangled as a carrot, then guidewire is the place for you.

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.
