      Pros

      *Great culture and values *CEO focused on company culture and values *Stable company with start up feel *Great Management/Leadership *Great People (Co-workers) This place has a great culture. When hiring, mgmt evaluate if new hires will add the the culture and values in place. This continues to make GW a dynamic place to work.

      Cons

      *Starting to grow systems and infrastructure in the G&A areas. Not truly a CON, but just growing pains of any company of this size.

      Pros

      Fantastic people to work with. Smart, motivated, collegial. Very collaborative environment. Work with a lot of the latest technologies. Very stable company in a very stable market. Has the most rational management team I've encountered in thirty years in the industry.

      Cons

      Very consensus-driven to the point where it can be difficult to move projects ahead sometimes. Large staff and legacy codebase with a loooong tail means that it can be very difficult to figure out how or WHY something works the way it does.

      Pros

      Guidewire has allowed me to where many different hats since I joined 8 years ago. I was in customer support for a year, then I joined professional services for 5 years, and now I am a Product Manager working in the Development organization. It is rare to find companies that offer such career mobility. One of the other things that I appreciate is that our CEO still has an open door policy. If you have any concerns about the future direction of the company, or you don't understand a change in policy you can email him directly. The last part I will comment on is our Product Strategy. We have a laser like focus on serving the needs of one industry vertical: Property and Casualty Insurance. This industry is recession proof, and insurance is product every consumer owns, but rarely really thinks about. I was burnt by the dotcom bubble many years ago, and I value a company that has a real sustainable business model.

      Cons

      With over 1000 employees, you can't know everyone in the company anymore. It is surprising to get into an elevator, and have someone get off at on the same floor, and you never met them before.
