      Micromanaging nightmare over the last few years

      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.

      Toxic Work Culture. Strict Work From Office Policy. Dont join if you are looking for good Work Life Balance.

      Pros

      Free lunch at lunch. Wellness benefits. Wifi/Datq benefitd

      Cons

      Toxic managers who tells you to be online always. Be in office on time else they will complain. Strict WFO policy. 3 days in office. All 5 days in last week. They say if you take WFH, it will affect your performance. Dont fall for benefits. All those dont matter when they start micromanaging you.
