- 3.0Quality of Management: problematicSoftware Development Engineer • Former EmployeeFoster City, California, United StatesApril 18, 2018Pros: Work-life balance Stable environment Colleagues are collegialCons: Guidewire used to be a bottom-up company. Developers were given freedom to drive projects. Now it's a top-down culture. Management holds most decision power, while not being hands-on enough to really understand what's going on. It's OK if you just want a cushy job and don't mind being told to implement suboptimal solutions. Not good if you aspire to do the right thing. The technical caliber of engineering teams is going down as more old-timers quit.
