Pros

Excellent terms and conditions. Great bonus structure, pension and health insurance. There is full transparency over performance, goals, and objectives. There is an abundance of supports available - both professional and personal. Excellent work/life balance. Staff is made up of people from all over the world. Terrific canteen!

Cons

The location of the Dublin office is somewhat remote, depending on the part of the city you are travelling from.

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.
