Pros

- Flexible work arrangements as far as location and RTO, and they allow for remote work in many positions - Despite the abrupt 180 the U.S. is taking on DEI, Guidewire continues to proudly and excellently reinforce its DEI initiatives! - Compensation is on par with other tech companies, and it is structured similarly (base+bonus+RSU) - Vast majority of people are genuinely nice, professional, and are trying to do the right thing

Cons

- Health insurance (Aetna) options could be better. - There aren't many processes defined, so working cross functionally requires time to establish your internal network of business partners before you can actually start delivering some value.
