Pros

Benefits and fine for new Joiners, but are traps to attract more talent.

Cons

The recruiters are low balling the new hires in terms of compensation. Management is not honest with employees in terms of work. Work is on very old tech which is out dated on language like Gosu. US office does not have much trust in India office to provide them better opportunities.

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.
