Pros

Great worklife balance and nice office space. 8 days mandatory office days per month. Great colleagues. Great benefits (Medical, Dental, Optical, Wellness, Mobile Phone, Home Internet)

Cons

Salary from above market rate has been adjusted to market rate. Low salary increment. No room for salary negotiation during compensation review sessions. Removal of Long Term Incentives for low level engineers made a lot of long term employees demoralized. Fully remote to mandatory 8 days office per month. A lot of work with internal only technologies (Gosu) which makes it harder to grow as a Java engineer. Hired as a Java Engineer but worked as a fullstack developer. Working on many projects in parallel. Personally I think this company is not a good place for engineers starting out their career due to the use of propriety internal technologies but for older engineers at the later stages of their career where this does not matter to them, everything else would be perfect for them.

Pros

The onboarding process was very clear and management was helpful throughout the entirety. The modern software used in Guidewire's Insurance Suite ecosystem is robust, developed, and exciting. The company will provide support for working remotely and home office setup. People were generally happy, transparent, and supportive.

Cons

As a software consultant motivated to complete impact-driven work, it was difficult to witness the impact experienced by the end user and gain fulfillment from completing job tasks oriented at that effort.
