Pros

- Value retaining top talent; encourage employees to move within the company - Challenge employees to succeed and reward accordingly - Pay competitive wages, have good benefits and offer other perks and rewards - Promote a good work / life balance - Focus on only one target market - the P&C industry, and extends this focus globally

Cons

- The sales cycles are very long, complex and challenging (but very much worth it!) - The fast growth and success of the company has left some challenges around creating and maintaining effective processes and documentation

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.
