Pros

Everyone works well together and the company values successfully promote a great working atmosphere. Another big plus is the ability to fairly easily move around. If you are burning out coding you can try QA or product management. Not instantly but likely a lot faster than at most other companies. Management structure is also good, not in the way but instead helpful. Finally, Scrum has been used for a while. If you are a fan you will like the company’s rather pure approach.

Cons

Honestly none unless you come into the company with some wild internet start-up expectations. It is well past that free meals, crazy hours, etc. phase most software companies go through.

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.
