Business Outlook
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with more work" - Time-gated promotions and managers are generally detached from the work you do - Ridiculously outdated tech stack.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.
