Pros

Commitment to a sustainable pace. Very smart people. A collaborative and collegial environment. The pattern of work is steady but manageable here. I've never experienced end-of-release "firedrills" and insane hours (unlike many other companies where I've worked).

Cons

Depending on the team you're on, you may not be exposed to bleeding-edge technologies, languages, or frameworks.

Java is used extensively, but on many of the application teams, you won't be exposed to frameworks such as AngularJS, etc.

Advice to Management

Continue the commitment to a sustainable pace. It's one of the core attributes of Guidewire that sets our company apart and contributes to low attrition rates and high levels of job satisfaction.
