Pros

Flexible schedule, not too busy all the time, you're only on 1 project at the time

Cons

Toxic middle management, consultant manager in Exton bullies fresh college graduates into doing extra tasks. Salary complaints are met with "I had it worst than you when I was your age", manager expects us to suffer, rent a closet out to live in to save money. Very horrible the way they did layoffs, employee with many years with the company were laid off without extra sentiment, extremely cold.

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.
