Pros

The culture is embraced at all levels - honesty and integrity, in particular. Every employee has a voice and is encourage to express it. It may not always mean change, but it is acknowledged.

Cons

Growth has created some middle management issues and odd management structures. It is losing it's flat org structure and, with it, the 'we're all together' attitude. Perhaps inevitable, but a loss nonetheless. There is an attitude from some long-time execs that it is a privilege to work at Guidewire that seems to undermine their value of continuous improvement.

Pros

Collegiate environment, where rationality and integrity are highly valued and recognised personal traits. Very clear strategy, well expressed throughout the company. Competent and accessible senior management. Wonderful customer base.

Cons

The consensus and collegiate approach to decision making can sometimes be frustrating, but is nothing compared to the inertia of other places I have worked.
