      Guidewire abandons employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None. Horrible place to work. Lots of pompous high sounding ideals from philosopher CEO and executives, none of which have any resemblance to reality.

      Cons

      The only objective Guidewire has in placing professional services personnel on a customer project is so that person can occupy a seat and the company can check a box witth the customer. Almost all Guidewire implementation projects are run by a partner - EY, PWC, etc. These partners treat the Guidewire staff with disregard, disrespect and abuse. Any discussions the Guidewire employee initiates on these issues with his/her management are met with unrealistic suggestions and grandiose promises, promises which are immediately forgotten and never mentioned again.

      Pros

      Really not many pros compared to other opportunities in the market. Used to be a great work place but has fallen behind the times

      Cons

      Extreme levels of politics and finger pointing. Machiavelli culture. Constant travel and no free time. Salaries outdated. Nepotism.

      Toxic company culture limits innovation and quashes open discourse

      Pros

      There are some great people here, some great teams and some genuinely are trying to do the very best for the customer and the company.

      Cons

      Company is suffering from growing pains and many of the original employees respond negatively to anything that is not "how Guidewire does it". There is a very strong class system mentality at this company, title means everything which is frustratingly exactly opposite of what they promote as their values. They hire senior, experienced people then expect junior work. Although hiring, there are so many people looking for new jobs and fleeing it's shocking. There is a reason.
