      Pros

      * You are given a lot of autonomy to get your work done * There is a good work/life balance (I have yet to work a weekend) * There is a culture of cooperation and interaction between employees * There is a nice range of ages -- it's not just people out of college * The management emphasizes candor and ethics * There is a culture of flexibility where resources are directed where they are needed

      Cons

      * The culture of agility and flexibility means that you are often changing projects and desks

      Guidewire - a Great Place to Work for Non-Engineers Too!

      Pros

      Guidewire employs great people, we build great enterprise software systems that solve real-world business problems. We have a strong management team and a focused corporate vision, and most importantly, we have lots of happy customers. It's a marketing person's dream.

      Cons

      If I had to pick a negative about working at Guidewire (and I do to get my comments to display at all), It's that hiring in some non-engineering areas has lagged a bit behind service demands. Good news is that there is lots of targeted hiring underway, in engineering and elsewhere.
