      A Great Company to Work for

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Although Guidewire has grown a lot over past several years and has gone public, it is still true to its corporate culture and values: Integrity, Rationality, and Collegiality. It empowers its employees to do their best in serving its customers and in their own career growth. In many ways the company still retains the start up culture. It is still a great place to work.

      Cons

      Working for a fast growing company can be challenging. New things (products, people, knowledge, customers, skill sets, etc.) come up every day and it is very taxing to try to keep up with all these.

      Leader in the Market, but Challenges Galore

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some very sharp and motivated people work here. They have developed significant traction in their marketplace - essentially dominating the competition. Many people are around from pre-public offering days, yet there is significant change (as always) in the workforce. Teams tend to be small, self-sufficient, and motivated to define and drive their work forward. The stock continues to be strong.

      Cons

      Once extremely strong in culture, things have started to get challenging. The pressure of a large installed base, aging technology, and market demands (you make a contract with the devil when you go public - either grow or feel pain) have caused some significant strains. In an effort to orient the workforce toward the future, some of the magic has been spread thin. Acquisitions and the regionally dispersed workforce puts strains on communication and coordination. Many company veterans are finding now a convenient time to depart.
