Pros

Guidewire is a wonderful place to work where you feel like what you are doing counts and is making a difference in the product that goes out the door. You get to work with talented people that are friendly and smart. This is probably the first job where I don't feel like I have to put in many hours of overtime to get the my job done. I am able to maintain a good balance between work and my personal time.

Cons

People don't know about Guidewire unless they follow the stock market. And even then, they really don't know what the company does, they just know the name.

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.
