Guidewire is low-drama, high-performance
You are given a lot of autonomy to get your work done. There is a good work/life balance (I have yet to work a weekend). There is a culture of cooperation and interaction between employees. There is a nice range of ages -- it's not just people out of college. The management emphasizes candor and ethics. There is a culture of flexibility where resources are directed where they are needed.
The culture of agility and flexibility means that you are often changing projects and desks.
