      Hyper political environment in which employees are mis-managed and mistreated

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Charismatic and strong CEO who has successfully led the company from startup to IPO Offers competitive salary and stock package Lots of intelligent employees who are motivated to do what's right for the company

      Cons

      Politically charged environment in which employees are mistreated and blamed for bad decisions made by upper management Quick to terminate employees who have performed strongly regardless of tenure Poor management at VP and upper management level in which employees are not well respected for their contributions Company has adopted a cult-like mentality and doesn't offer the type of diversity and creative freedoms for employees to thrive in this environment despite claims to adopt an inclusive and collegiate environment

      Pros

      If you want to work for a company that has employees that are all dedicated to each other and overall are smart and wonderful people to work with then Guidewire is for you. The staff and management are top notch

      Cons

      There just are not any major cons. Some minor employee connection portal issues and time tracking software issues. Nothing major to consider.

      Pros

      - good worklife balance - lots of smart people in development

      Cons

      - technology and domain is boring - old timers not seemed to be open to new ideas, too many homegrown technologies - engineering managers have very little experience - company is somewhat cheap, sardine- like workplace, noisy and lots of distraction
