Guidewire honestly lives its values
Guidewire honestly lives its values
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.
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.
