Pros

- excellent company culture. You feel welcomed from Day 1. - strong focus on equity, inclusion, belonging and diversity. - competitive compensation & benefits. - great rewards & recognition. - fantastic volunteering and charity program - very strong support for remote work environment, both by providing the tools and tech needed as well as the leadership support - great work/life balance and respect for working hours in different time zones

Cons

- confusing org structure. Hard to know who's who and how everyone works together. - sometimes still headquarters-centric which can make remote workers and those from outside the U.S. feel excluded, like they don't belong or that there aren't clear paths for development

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.
