Pros

Guidewire is a company full of smart and easy going people.I have been in the company for close to four years, and I can say I am truly happy here. My own team is always focused on doing better than the year before, which makes it a group I like to work with. Great work environment and work life balance. I am not an engineer, but I work closely with them, and I can say most of them enjoy their teams and the people they work with. Thirsty Thursdays (Guidewire social hour) is fun since you get to speak with people you normally wouldn't have a chance to speak with on a day to day basis.

Cons

Guidewire is experiencing some growing pains, which is expected. I also feel that not all departments are created equal. Also some departments do not follow some of the core values Guidewire believes in.

Pros

Smart people great work/life balance, which is visible when you see only a few people in the office on Fridays Free snacks Building challenging and exciting products for P&C industry Good business model

Cons

for a company that claims to be collaborative, there is a lot of politics and mistrust across different teams. at the surface, people are friendly, but many don't like to work with each other. there is a mentality of "old vs new", but in reality, both have pros and cons and people need to look past that and think what's best moving forward.
