Pros

Ethos was awesome, everyone was friendly and always ready to help. The work environment was as far from hostile as you could imagine. The energy of both the people and the open office space allowed for much more freedom of thought, and contributed to a workplace that is far more healthy than others.

Cons

Housing situation was a little iffy as the area is quite expensive

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.
