Business Outlook

Pros

Bias towards distributing responsibility to individuals Rationally argued opinions are always respected Good work-life balance Unusually long planning horizons Willingness to learn from mistakes Company is successful, and very likely to be a great place to work into the foreseeable future

Cons

The desire to not grow too quickly and not lower standards comes at a cost -- we are understaffed in some key areas

Best company I have worked for (and I am not into superlatives)

Business Outlook

Pros

1) At a previous company - ranked by Fortune Magazine as the #1 place to work in the US - I was stabbed in the back. At Guidewire, my team HAS my back. What a difference. 2) The company values of collegiality, integrity and rationality are referenced in conversation and in decision making.

Cons

I took a pay cut to come here. But it was worth it!
