Pros

Guidewire is a progressive company, with an emphasis on tangible efforts in getting ahead of the curve. Overall work life balance and compensation is good. Leaders will listen and get down dirty. Hard and smart work will be rewarded. Organizational structure aims to be flat as possible. Insurtech is going places so a healthy pipeline. Offers a platform to fresh graduates to learn and grow, and for those experienced, thrive to the next levels.

Cons

Growing pains (to be fair this is acted on)

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.
