Pros

Guidewire is the best place I've worked. The people are passionate about what they do and how they do it. There is very little in the way of politics or bureaucracy. The atmosphere within development and between dev and other teams is friendly and focused on solving problems and making our customers successful.

Cons

Some growing pains, though I think the company acknowledges them and has the right attitude toward addressing them.

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.
