Pros

-Smart people that continually raise the bar and challenge you to raise it as well -Great products that are winning over the industry -Great culture and values that serve customers well -Promotion from within (for the time being) -At the end of the day, Guidewire will do the right thing.

Cons

-As the company has grown there seems to be more passengers and less pilots. As with all companies, it will be a challenge to limit the passengers, turn them into pilots or get them to deplane. -Work/life balance is difficult to maintain in the field and on the road, but the growth and success of the company makes it worthwhile for the time being. -Hyper-growth is starting to occur which places less experienced people in management positions

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.
