Pros

Join if - you want stable 10-5 job - Colleagues are friendly and helpful - Many talented people are stuck because of market poor condition - Good compensation

Cons

- Mandatory Work from office. Otherwise apply leave - AI is a buzz word. No innovation - Always there are people pull you back with security, privacy etc aspects - Don't fall for benefits. Free food is very bad. You endup taking from home. You can't reimburse daycare fees as no other school provide PAN - Process is too slow. Learning is 0. Too many internal tools and over complicated solution. Even after 2 years, my learning here is null. - No scope for open sourced tools / solutions. You end-up making api calls every time. No innovation - Quarterly LTA and yearly variables are strap. You can't move out from this.

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.
