      Accountability, Rationality, and Collegiality

      Pros

      The three pillars that the company has been build on are Accountability, Rationality, and Collegiality. These core values are introduced to you the moment you interact with any Guidewire employee. You are given a rare opportunity at Guidwire, you are trusted, treated like adults, and given the tools to be successful. If you don't feel this way, you CAN talk to the management team, and they will ensure that the appropriate modifications are made to ensure your success. You can never tell what life will bring you, but I truly believe that I am in this for the long haul. Go Guidewire!

      Cons

      Sometimes the excitement from all of the learning and growing opportunities, lead you to work longer then usual hours. This can be beneficial form the accomplishments, but sometimes detrimental from the amount of time it inadvertently take away from your personal time.

      Still the best company I ever worked for

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - A team full of talented people working on surprisingly challenging and fun features - The hierarchy has become deeper but still feels very flat. Every manager in the whole chain of command is willing to accept feedback and talk in person. This includes the CEO. - The work-life balance is exceptional. This does not mean that the team is a bunch of slackers but rather that the trust put in employees means that the flexibility on work hours is enormous. This is probably the number one reason why we are able to retain the top talent that we have - Very open communication throughout the company. The CEO is an incorporation of our company values collegiality, rationality and integrity

      Cons

      The compensation is good but does not compete with Google, Facebook et al.

      Great company

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval

      Pros

      The company really does focus on its values (integrity, collegiality and rationality) in everything we do. It's refreshing to work for a company like this!

      Cons

      The only "con" I find is that they do not offer education reimbursement as a benefit.
