Pros

Lots of responsibility and accountability. Company is constantly attempting to improve it's product lines and to provide tools to make projects go faster and easier.

Cons

Hard to stay up-to-date with product changes. Sometimes too much accountability for things over which you have little control.

Pros

Test driven development. Many very talented individuals. Excellent Work and Life balance. Customer success is one of the main focus. Fairly open communication. Huge variety of Customers. Focus on building very high quality products.

Cons

Management hierarchy developing in the last of departments (Engineering) and this may not be good. Although different from many other companies, the performance review system is sometimes questionable. Since the focus is on P&C insurance companies, options for creating a lot of products may not be possible.

Pros

The best part of working at Guidewire is that its corporate values are embraced at all levels, even all the way to the highest levels of executive management. Also, Guidewire is a very egalitarian company. The company truly values all contributors.

Cons

The only minor issue is that Guidewire's benefits are about average. The company could try to improve vacation packages, employee's insurance cost, etc.
