Pros

Not much workload; plenty of free time Decent pay compared to the effort required Wellness benefits are a plus Good option for freshers looking to start their careers

Cons

The company’s culture has gone downhill after toxic managers joined No real growth opportunities — low or zero increments, no perks, no bonuses Hardly any knowledgeable or inspiring colleagues to learn from No challenging or meaningful work Feels more like a school with strict timing and WFH rules; managers publicly call people out in channels — quite unprofessional

Pros

NA, can't think of anything positive anymore. It's a micromanaging mess.

Cons

Guidewire makes majors shift every 2 years and the last one to take PgM out of PD into its own department is a micromanaging nightmare. We have more status meetings and spreadsheets to update than time to do any work anymore. 3 places to update if I want to take PTO. 7am and 7pm meetings are now the norm. 6 bosses in 10 years, no one can make up their mind on the direction of the company, projects start and are abandoned constantly.
