Pros

Everyone is friendly and helpful. We all work together to solve problems and no one is looking for who to blame. We are trusted to get the job done and not watched over minute by minute. I really like working from home when I'm not travelling. We have the most up-to-date tools to allow us to work together effectively even though we are spread throughout the world.

Cons

Still functioning as a small startup. We are starting to transition to being able to handle our number of staff worldwide but management still needs more training in this area.

Pros

Guidewire is a great company that builds and delivers software the 'right' way. The people I work with are very highly skilled and you can have confidence that your peers on a project will pull their weight.

Cons

Not much to say here. Every company and client have their challenges but when those occur the staff on the ground does not get left holding the bag.

Pros

A great company to work for, it's growing quickly and has lots of new & innovative products coming through from development. A strong brand and very effective Product Management & Product Marketing team with enthusiasm by the truck-load. EVeryone is pulling in the same direction thanks to a very clear set of goals and strong set of values. A refreshingly honest company to work for.

Cons

Maybe too thorough on approval processes... This can slow things down, but could also be the reason for the company's success ie making sure every decision has been thought through?
