Business Outlook

Pros

Working with truly talented people who are focused on customer success creates a fantastic environment to work in. The culture flows from the very top and promotes openness and communication at all levels. People are genuine and helpful, particularly admin staff.

Cons

Travel can be a chore. Long international flights in cramped 'Economy' with an early start the following morning.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Intelligent, motivated, professional employees - Strong confidence in our management and CEO - Focus on sustainable controlled growth rather than rapid expansion - Generous benefits and training program - Corporate values that we can believe in and follow - Corporate culture that respects the employee's work/life balance

Cons

- Guidewire is moving from disruptive player to market leader so it is still deciding on the right strategy and technology. - Guidewire is no longer a small startup but a large company; therefore, some of the small benefits that employees enjoyed (company picnic, bringing a spouse to the annual corporate event, etc.) are disappearing.
