Business outlook
Pros
Guidewire was founded on core values of integrity, rationality, and collegiality. Even now that I left, in keeping touch with those still there, I can tell these principles are still in their blood. The top engineers are/were among the best I've ever worked with. I learned a lot. Through Guidewire I have made a majority of my closest friends over the recent years.
Cons
I thoroughly enjoyed my time when Guidewire was far smaller, with a team of less than 100 engineers. People accomplished big things. I worry that as it has grown, it has allowed bureaucracy to run away such that you now have members of the engineering staff who are more interested in politics and process than actually getting tangible work done.
