Pros

- Relaxed work environment (depending on org.) - Flexible work hours

Cons

- Skill stagnation - Culture of mediocrity. Guidewire is a poster child of "Good work is rewarded with more work" - Time-gated promotions and managers are generally detached from the work you do - Ridiculously outdated tech stack. Main suite of products is a group of ancient monoliths. - Everything is about shareholder value - Constant restructuring, it feels like that's the only thing management does - Titles of the roles changed so much, didn't even know what to put on CV - Almost non-existent salary bumps, 1-2% annually at best.

Difficult work conditions with poor transport and overcrowding

Pros

Very few at the moment

Cons

The transport is so bad, they don’t have flexible timings and are making things increasingly difficult and yet expect people to be in office at least 3 times a week at timings completely unaligned with actual project work. The office is overcrowded, the food quality declining and feedback given for at least transport falls on deaf ears.
