Pros

Commitment to sustainable pace. Very smart people. Collaborative and collegial environment. The pattern of work is steady but manageable here. I've never experienced end of release firedrills and insane hours (unlike many other companies where I've worked).

Cons

Depending on the team you're on, you may not be exposed to bleeding edge technologies/languages/frameworks. Java is used extensively, but on many of the application teams you won't be exposed to frameworks such as Angular JS etc.

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.
