Pros

I am working in the Dublin office as a Solution Consultant. I have started 20 month ago and I have had a good time ever since. There is a lot of room for personal growth in the office - not only within the consultant role, but within the office and the various roles the Dublin office is offering today and even beyond that. The social commitee in the Dublin office puts a lot of effort into maintaining the very special Guidewire culture, even though it becomes more difficult with now about 130 employees just in Dublin. Not only do we have regular events, but there are also many social/sport groups which are organised by single or groups of colleagues.

Cons

Some projects become stressful at times, because the customer is king. But as we all know the king is not always right. Sometimes I wish Guidewire would use its strong market position to make the customer understand that we know what we are doing and that it would be a good decision to follow our lead during implementation projects. We are taking a "No" as an answer to easily. In the end this makes projects stressful for all involved parties, but especially for the consultants.

Pros

Guidewire employs Great people, provide an Interesting job in an Agile and Friendly environment. It's not an up-or-out model and culture is great too. Friday work from home is a plus!

Cons

Lot of travel if you don't like that doesn't help your work-life balance even with the friday work from home. There is a great request of work from customer and it is difficult to get some training / develop skills not strictly related to project.
