      Product and technical excellence focused culture with strong talent

      Senior engineering manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Strong engineering talent is available in Bangalore and globally and has a good collaborative culture. - We get to work with products which has real customer impact. Working on critical systems for insurers gives a clear sense of purpose and technical challenges rather than just feature deivery - Exposure to modern engineering and AI practices. At Guidewire, we heavily invest in AI use cases, cloud native architecture, CI/CD and automation. - The Bangalore location has end to end ownership. Having product management, engineering teams and leadership all co-located helps in faster decision making and innovation. - Good work–life balance

      Cons

      - Not all teams are at the same level of maturity in cloud native development and CI/CD, so experiences can vary depending on the team - Different teams used different tools and conventions, which created context switching overhead and made standardisation harder for managers having multiple teams. But harmonization initiatives are in progress.

      Join if - you want stable 10-5 job - Colleagues are friendly and helpful - Many talented people are stuck because of market poor condition - Good compensation

      Cons

      - Mandatory Work from office. Otherwise apply leave - AI is a buzz word. No innovation - Always there are people pull you back with security, privacy etc aspects - Don't fall for benefits. Free food is very bad. You endup taking from home. You can't reimburse daycare fees as no other school provide PAN - Process is too slow. Learning is 0. Too many internal tools and over complicated solution. Even after 2 years, my learning here is null. - No scope for open sourced tools / solutions. You end-up making api calls every time. No innovation - Quarterly LTA and yearly variables are strap. You can't move out from this.

      Good learning opportunities with a positive work culture

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company offers strong learning opportunities by working with a modern, top-notch tech stack rather than legacy systems, which helps in building relevant technical skills. The work culture is positive and supportive, with great people and a collaborative environment supported by a flat organizational hierarchy. The office environment is well-maintained, and employees benefit from good facilities such as cab and food services. It is an excellent place for freshers to start their careers, given the exposure and continuous learning opportunities available. Initiatives like “Upskill Weeks” further encourage employees to take ownership of their growth and actively enhance their skill sets. Overall, it's a good place to work with positive work culture.

      Cons

      The company requires employees to work from the office for at least three days a week, which may feel restrictive for those who prefer fully remote or more flexible work arrangements.
