Pros: Flexible time. Work from home schema.

Cons: 1. Boring technologies are applied in most departments, including GSC, SE, PE, and CE. 2. External management, like CEOs, are hired rather than promoting people internally. (More than 80% of the management in the Cloud team were hired externally last year.) 3. Most people are playing games or watching Netflix in the office, with yearly increments of 3000 - 5000. 4. With or without promotion, you will be getting 3000 - 5000 increased anyway. This encourages people not to work. 5. Overtime work is not appreciated. 6. Low salary, as 3000 - 5000 salary increases per year with or without promotion. 7. The senior management does care about the years of service, while the junior management said they don't care. 8. They try to say they have a lot of cash in the bank for every company meeting, but never increase salary. 9. Terrible company structure and messy titles/positions with no standard.

Pros: Believes in constant innovation and learning. It's a great place to work.

Cons: None, this is the best job I've ever had.

Pros: Guidewire is a great, people-centric organisation. There is a strong focus on values, self-organisation, and self-management. People are trusted and expected to do the right thing. Salary and benefits are very good and linked to your performance in a very fair and reasonable way. Growth in the Dublin office has been really strong over the last few years and will continue for the foreseeable future. Product Development teams are set up for success as self-organising 'pods' that define and run their own Agile practices and processes. These pods are generally about 5 to 8 people with a product manager, 3 to 5 engineers, and 1 to 2 QAs. Pods are collected into tribes with specific purposes. Product Development in Dublin covers 3 main areas: * Digital, which encompasses the online 'Digital' aspects of the product set, delivering a set of online digital experiences targeted at different roles. * Suite - which covers the engineering and delivery of elements of the underlying product suite. * Content - delivers market-specific enhancements of the product for specific regional markets.

Cons: I would say that in Guidewire Product Development, there aren't many cons. It's a really great place to work. If pushed, the only cons I would list are around the maturity of the products. We have been developing these products for nearly two decades; there is a lot of existing software. This has been developed and enhanced over many years. Some areas of the product suite are more modern than others; some have been modernized, and some haven't. This can present a challenge for people looking to develop greenfield applications. As we grow and develop, we tackle these challenges, but it's not the same as starting with a blank sheet. The only other con worth a mention is the use of an internal language, Gosu. It's a Java-like language that provided access to key language features before they were available in Java. It's straightforward, but if you are very sensitive to the language you use, this might be a turn-off. Most strong engineers are not bothered by this; it's just another C-like language.
