Pros

The company offers truly high-quality development work and gives engineers the chance to work with cutting-edge cloud technologies. There is strong advocacy for open-source tools and contributions, and performance is genuinely rewarded. Perks, insurance, and health benefits are excellent, and the office space is modern and well thought out. The culture is efficient with minimal red tape, allowing teams to move fast and focus on impactful work.

Cons

As the company is still growing, some HR and IT processes could be more standardized and streamlined. Given the amount of work done in advanced and emerging technologies, compensation could be made slightly more competitive to reflect the skill level and market expectations.

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.
