Pros

- Allowed to do what I am best at and to discuss alternatives to working on things that I am less skilled at doing - Strong career prospects in the industry, consulting, and at Guidewire - Never fail to admire the senior managers for their fairness, their competence, and hard work - I can count on them to do the right thing (even small things that I wasn't expecting) - I believe in what we do and what we offer is a fair and hardy product for the industry we serve; since we don't try to be everything to everyone, we achieve what we set out to do

Cons

- There aren't enough hours in the day to get done what need to get done, globally - Sometimes it feels like there is zero margin for error but there aren't a lot of mulligans for performance...

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.
