Pros

Other companies I've worked for post inspirational "company values" but do little to do business in a way that lives up to them. Guidewire's stated values include Honesty, Rationality, and Collegiality, and the management is sincere about integrating them into the business. For example, when necessary they are brutally honest with customers in the spirit of customer success.

Cons

Guidewire has grown a lot in a short time especially since its IPO in 2012. The systems and infrastructure and process are just catching up--so sometimes the internal processes can be manual or tedious and it is hard to find and easily share information related to doing your job.

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.
