      A good place to work and grow

      CEO approval

      Pros

      Lots of talented developers. An actually useful review process. A fun environment. Good forums for feedback to management. The CEO responds to email. Developers are treated well. Working at home for part of the time is okay. Teamwork is highly valued. There are opportunities to get trained, and a lot of people form study groups. Everybody is very collegial and helpful; if you ask for help they won't leave you until the problem is solved.

      Cons

      No free lunch - it is a bit of a pain to get lunch every day. There is a bit of a separation of the dev and the non-dev part. Not a lot of mixing is going on the devs actually work in a separate building. The good management sometimes leads to inflexible budgets. Everything is planned and if you want to add later there has to be a real good explanation.

      Still loving Guidewire after 5 years of working there

      Pros

      In 25 plus years of working in tech, I can honestly say this is the first company I've worked for where I know its core values (collegiality, rationality, integrity) and believe that management and staff alike abide by them. I know it sounds corny, but we are collegial to the max. You never hear anyone say "that's not my job." I also fully trust our executive team. Marcus, the CEO, is brilliant and definitely a leader with integrity. We've had some instances where a person in a manager role wasn't doing a great job. In most companies, that person would simply be let go. At Guidewire, I know of a couple of cases where former managers were invited to step into individual contributor roles instead of leaving the company. I really value this flexibility.

      Cons

      I can't think of many cons. Sometimes Guidewire is slow to let someone go who isn't doing his/her job well and is not a good fit for the company. On a minor note, I disapprove of our jury duty policy: we're given just 3 days reimbursement for jury duty. I feel this discourages employees from doing their civic duty.
