Pros

Excellent balance between work and life, challenging problems, superb colleagues. It's a place that I enjoy to be at -- probably the best place I've ever worked.

Cons

The functional area (insurance) can be dry, and sometimes the pace is slower than I'd like. Also the company is getting bigger and that always has some downsides involving coordination and keeping process requirements to a minimum.

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.
