Pros: Very good work-life balance. Managers are very helpful and employee-friendly. Lots of benefits are available.

Cons: Difficult to find any cons except salary standard.

Pros: Great work environment and people.

Cons: Travel in the mornings isn't the most accessible from where I was from.

Pros: Employees at Guidewire, both managers and individual contributors, live the company values (integrity, rationality, collegiality) well. I've never seen a decision made because "this is how we've always done it." When there are better methods or technologies, people tend to support them. Work/life balance is the norm. If you need flexibility in your schedule, you'll get it. The stock tends to go up steadily. A lot of very smart software developers. Learning is a constant, and some change is embraced.

Cons: You don't get many of those little benefits that start-ups use to draw talent, but aren't really worth much (i.e., free meals, dry cleaning...). Not the most fun place for new college grads, but a solid place to grow professionally and technically.
