Pros

I still enjoy working here for three main reasons: 1) Guidewire has a genuine work life balance. 2) My colleagues are intelligent and interesting, and 3) We seem to be on the right track to fixing the organizational and strategic issues that had plagued us a year ago.

Cons

There can be a mentality that something new or different is going to be impossible just because it's hard or there are challenges. But challenges can be overcome. This means that we can be slow to make big decisions... but they do eventually get made.

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.
