We're sorry that you've had a bad experience; we appreciate your transparency. We'd love to learn more, and we invite you to email us at careers@guidewire.com.
- Non-salary benefits are reasonable
- Great peers. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with
Cons
- Poor communication from management. Re-structure without a strategy -- still figuring it out. We're threatened that if we question the solution, "we are going to have problems."
- Too many rules; too many exceptions to those rules (some are more equal)
- Penny pinching. We don't have the tools to do our job. Saving money by having us do more work.
Guidewire is a great company and especially ideal for the career-minded individual. The company is large enough to offer a variety of jobs in all kinds of interesting locations. Even if you never change roles, your job changes and evolves as the company grows, keeping things fresh. This is an exciting time to work in the P&C insurance industry as well. Our customers and our employees are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Cons
Things move quickly these days - you either pick up the pace or risk being left behind. This may not be ideal for everyone, but is ideal for those who are up for the challenge.
