      Pros

      There are a few pros --play the game, play politics, and more (if you are good at it, you will be rewarded and promoted). Some smart engineers. Benefits ok.

      Cons

      - Too political - No recognition for people who work hard and sincerely. *Middle management is incompetent and inconsistent (bunch of *no* do gooders, honestly) - Polarized environment. -The company's core values, Integrity, Collegiality and Rationality --Gone with the wind. - Boring Software. Obsolete technologies and architecture. - Looking for directions ..absolutely nothing organic.

      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.
