Business Outlook

Pros

The other reviews about the supportive culture are so true, I feel like every single teammate really looks out for me, cares about my well-being, and helps me grow. I genuinely enjoy the work that I do everyday because I like the people that I work with so much! As a nice bonus, the US benefits are also great compared to a lot of other tech companies. I finally understand what a good company culture means by working at Guidewire!

Cons

No cons at this time. It's a bigger company with 3000+ employees, so some people might enjoy a smaller company. But I find it to be just the right size.
