Guidewire reviews

this company is now at the level i expected it would move to.... investor focused (not bad necessarily) meat market. there is NO collegiality any more there is NO promotion from within.... so when the vp/chief of professional services left there was NO ONE in services management that could not take that or no one wanted that position? yeah... the way to move up is the same as all companies now... move out. We even heard that directly from the so called chief product development "officer." He loves it when you leave guidewire to learn something, that apparently no one at guidewire knows, and then you come back. Want to move up at guidewire - quit - go work for a mature cloud company and then come back to guidewire if you really want to. also, will guidewire ever be able to claim "cloud native" as long as it depends on it's antiquated, outdated, programming language, Gosu?

The company used to value customer success, employee satisfaction and other core values. Under the new management the company values profit over everything. People who are or should be considered experts are often not consulted about priorities of work or even thoughts on direction of development when that is their key job. Mid level management has taken a view of do what you are told and do not ask questions. Essentially every division is promoting what amounts to the age old "yes" person instead of someone who might raise credible objections. Again this is especially clear at middle managment especially in development and professional services though sometimes clear that a profit before success is prevalent at higher levels and even stated as such.
