Pros

- Smart and fun folks - Complex problems to solve - Customers love us - Adapting agile practices for enterprise software - Selling with integrity and product driven - Flat organizational structure despite consistent growth

Cons

Guidewire focuses on Property & Casualty Insurance core systems which we don't kid ourselves in thinking is the sexiest industry. However, there are real and sophisticated problems that we solve with our solutions and are used everyday by a large and global user base.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company interview and hiring process is very selective. That means employees trust each other. Very little politics. There is a lot of teamwork, and still there are opportunities to exercise inititive, take responsibility and get something done. When mistakes happen, people are unafraid to accept blame, and everyone wants to help resolve problems.

Cons

Not the best benefits, yet salaries are competitive. The jobs require travel the time away from home is tough. At least, the home office people truly appreciate the "road warriors" and do their best to help them where possible.

Pros

A brilliant organization with clear goals and very satisfied customers. Ask anyone how often ex-employees come back within a year or less.

Cons

Perennially understaffed. We can't seem to find people of the caliber we'd expect at this level
