Working with good people on difficult problems
Working with good people on difficult problems
Guidewire has really good people with a culture of working together well. There's a lot of respect between different departments, so as a developer, you know that the product managers and project managers will work with you to solve problems and will trust your judgment on technical issues and estimates. There's a big emphasis on getting work done without any politics. If problems come up, the attitude is always, 'How can we fix it and prevent it in the future?' never, 'Who can we blame?'
Guidewire has a lot of proprietary technology, which is a mixed blessing. It means you can work on technology you might not get to work on elsewhere, but it also means it's harder to use some of the newer tools.
