Pros

Test driven development. Many very talented individuals. Excellent Work and Life balance. Customer success is one of the main focus. Fairly open communication. Huge variety of Customers. Focus on building very high quality products.

Cons

Management hierarchy developing in the last of departments (Engineering) and this may not be good. Although different from many other companies, the performance review system is sometimes questionable. Since the focus is on P&C insurance companies, options for creating a lot of products may not be possible.

Pros

NA, can't think of anything positive anymore. It's a micromanaging mess.

Cons

Guidewire makes majors shift every 2 years and the last one to take PgM out of PD into its own department is a micromanaging nightmare. We have more status meetings and spreadsheets to update than time to do any work anymore. 3 places to update if I want to take PTO. 7am and 7pm meetings are now the norm. 6 bosses in 10 years, no one can make up their mind on the direction of the company, projects start and are abandoned constantly.
