Pros

Guidewire achieves the rare combination of success in the marketplace together with sanity in the workplace. Our customers are very happy with our products and services, which makes the work satisfying. And we're not afraid to continually work on modernizing our platform so that we don't stagnate.

Cons

The nature of enterprise insurance apps seems to imply long cycle times. By the time a customer has launched their implementation, they're already a release or two behind our active development. Feedback comes in slowly, and engineers often have to context-switch between several old releases.

Advice to Management

Consider ways to speed up the product feedback cycle, such as by shortening release schedules.
