Pros

Stable company with great core values. For a software company, it will weather a recession in good standing.

Cons

Very flat org, so titles are not focused on; but dont let that distract you. Most importantly, there are many opportunities, and its what you make of it. (it is hard to see this from the outside)

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.
