Work life balance company, especially in Japan this is very challenging for most of the company. Guidewire provide a very competitive salary in Japan compare to other software company in Japan. Compare to other company, your contribution will be easily identified and accordingly your title and salary will be changed based on it.

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.
