      Pros

      Doing well as a company. Solid product and track record with the customers. Good work life balance, but mostly tailored to people with families. Young and single people, look somewhere else.

      Cons

      Growing pains of sizing up as a company. Lots of changes happening at the same time, some with not a lot of clear reasons as to why. Average benefits and pay

      Pros

      I have worked in the enterprise technology sector for 20 years this fall, and Guidewire has the most explicit commitment to humility I have ever seen. Partly because their target market is so risk averse, partly because the sales cycle is so long and the account management has to be so strategic, Guidewire has the most thoughtful, careful and consistently successful approach to software I have experienced yet. To echo what others have said 1. People are just plain good at what they do. Really good. 2. In addition to being smart, people are humble. Leads to a low BS, highly collaborative culture. 3. Management cares about your life and the balancing act between home and work.

      Cons

      Serious title deflation. Most of the Managers here would be Directors elsewhere, and the Directors, VPs. You will be well paid and well respected, you will be given great responsibility-- and then be offered the most modest and junior title you've held in a decade.
