Pros

Company values are clear, all the way from the CEO, down to line-level managers. There are frequent touchpoints between an employee and his/her manager and everyone is open to honest feedback. The interview process may be long, but the attrition rate is extremely low. Product development teams work in an open, cross-functional format (programmer, testing, product owner) so there is a lot of cross-team communication and very little stereotypical specification passing.

Cons

They have built a lot of their own tools/frameworks internally. Their applications are built on top of a custom language that they have built themselves. Which makes it difficult to stay on top of happenings in the general development community. After a while, this starts to bring you down

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.
