Pros

Great benefits, nice co-workers who do try and help. Some leaders here really do try!

Cons

- Job you get may not be what you thought you interviewed for! - Hybrid environment means you're punished if you want to work remotely! - Very command and control culture (not agile environment at all) - Lots of good "talk" from sr. management but little action to back it up when it comes to fixing things/making things better

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.
