Pros

modern well kept facilities with good amenities, open and approachable executives, good benefits, flexible WFH policy, reasonable expectations for work life balance

Cons

high turnover and low morale at the moment, while the company values are great I did not see them being used during day to day business, not necessarily a con but several managers who have been with the company since it was much smaller--the con here is from my observations they tend to be stuck in old, inefficient ways of doing things and were resistant to any suggestion of change

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.
