Excellent, stable place to work

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Thoughtful, intelligent colleagues; excellent work-life balance; very stable company. Provides software to a very stable industry (insurance) that really needs the applications in order to function.

Cons

Not much to say here -- doesn't have all the "perks" of some other companies like Google and Facebook, but those "perks" (cafeterias, bars, toys) seem mostly aimed at keeping people at work 100% of the time, which doesn't seem healthy.

Still happy after nearly 9 years

Engineering manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I continue to be very bullish on Guidewire's prospects, as we are maintaining the same consistent focus that we've always had on dominating our vertical market. Product Development has a very healthy culture in my mind, far healthier than any other organization I have ever been a part of, and it's great to be building the products that are driving our success.

Cons

Stress level has cranked up some since last year's IPO, and it feels like the balance between short-term and long-term focus is sometimes tipped towards the wrong end of the scale.

One of the best companies to work for in the bay

Developer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Family life balance, excellent pay and benefits, winning circle CEO, strong position to seize the market, very smart people, worldly workforce with great diversity. Good company values that aren't complete BS.

Cons

Lots of established teams so it takes time (2yrs+) to find growth path and get exposure for promotion; tends not to look inward for talent but rather recruit new talent
