Pros

Great WLB Supportive Teammates Great Culture Opportunities to engage with international colleagues

Cons

RTO mandates Allowances, benefits and salary tanked really badly after the restructure. Especially on salary where they said they removed big LTI bonuses in favour of higher base salary which never happened especially for newer employees Proprietary tools Unsupportive managers blocking career advancement opportunities Disruptive restructures Managers constantly micromanage Incompetent coworkers

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.
