Guidewire reviews

The hiring process is very stringent and strenuous, but the benefit of that is that the people who end up working with Guidewire are all very talented and genuinely great folk. You are given responsibility over important tasks as soon as you complete the training process (which is extensive). The company strive to make a great product and there seems to be a never-ending effort to make improvements in every area possible. No matter how high up in the company some people are, you actually feel comfortable talking to them and voicing your opinion on some things. At our last event in San Mateo, myself and some colleagues who only started a month previously were in a casual conversation with the vice-president of the company and he seemed genuinely interested in being there talking to us. No expense was spared in the office. You have a top-of-the-line computer with two large monitors, a comfortable chair and plenty of closed spaces should you need some quiet time. If you need a few minutes of downtime, there is a pool table, foosball table, xbox consoles and even beer in the press for our Thirsty Thursdays. It really has a startup feel even though the company was founded over 10 years ago and probably has 1500+ employees now.

Professional environment, friendly and open. A very focused management team and company that's most concerned about the customer success and employee satisfaction than anything else.
