Pros

At Guidewire you will never experience a negative competition attitude, where one is trying to take advantage of the other. Coworkers work together to the ultimate goal of making better software. If you have a problem you can just ask for help/tips to any developer. He will stop what he is doing and have a constructive conversation with you and pair at your desk if needed. Most of the developers are really skilled with several rock stars programmers in the Platform team. The culture at Guidewire is great likewise the general vibe in the office.

Cons

I haven't identified any major drawbacks in this company. It just keeps getting better and better :)

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.
