Pros

Initially the company had high aims on how it wanted to run for its employees. But currently There focus has been on their self growth at the cost of the employees

Cons

The company is so pre-occupied on going public that they have forgotten why they started the business in the first place.

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.
