Pros

Smart people. Decent pay and almost on par with other companies in the Bay Area. Flexible hours. Work from home. Friendly colleagues.

Cons

Older technology. Mostly outdated. Custom built in house. Work experience and knowledge gained by Devs and QA is not as useful once you leave the company.

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.
