      Pros

      Guidewire employs great people, we build great enterprise software systems that solve real-world business problems. We have a strong management team and a focused corporate vision, and most importantly, we have lots of happy customers. It's a marketing person's dream.

      Cons

      If I had to pick a negative about working at Guidewire (and I do to get my comments to display at all), It's that hiring in some non-engineering areas has lagged a bit behind service demands. Good news is that there is lots of targeted hiring underway, in engineering and elsewhere.

      Pros

      The technology is awsome. Their proprietary development system for large-scale enterprise applications is the best I've ever seen in 20 years of enteprise development systems. The quality level of the software is awsome -- it has a built-in test harness that lets QA run thousands of regression tests on every code check-in. What I like best is that management is not driven by closing deails and corrupting the software with odd one-off features. They are building the software and the company for the long term.

      Cons

      It's privately held, so there is no ESPP program.
