What is the best part about your compensation package?
Wellness package, home office reimbursement and medical
Review from HR Dept
LTI would be the best part and make different from other companies. With proper LTI packages, that would helps to retain talents in the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
It is very comprehensive. From basic pay to a range of benefits and leave. It is truly supportive.
Review from HR Dept

Review from Customer Success Dept
My choice. It is great to have the choice between LTI and RSUs

The RSUs are the most important/impactful lever in terms of financial reward for individual contributions to the successes of company.

Review from Customer Support Dept
The ESPP and LTI programs. I believe the best way to feel as a part of the company is to own a part of it.
Review from Product Dept

Review from Product Dept
Long term incetives . Insurance should be increased

Review from HR Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My compensation has effectively decreased over the past few years, and every way I’ve explored for growth has led to a dead end. At the same time, I see others being promoted w
Review from Admin Dept
Accomplishments are only acknowledged in private and do not result in more compensation or career advancement
Review from Engineering Dept
I don't feel undervalued in terms of the work I do or the appreciation I receive, butI do feel my compensation could be. more aligned with my experience, and market value.
Review from HR Dept
The LTIs were removed and the increase that was awarded only equated to 1 years LTI allowance so i will be massively down next year when my remaining LTIs finish vesting. The communication regardobg this from our leadership has been extemely poor
Review from Operations Dept
Because its not enough, I'd feel better if it was more
Review from Engineering Dept
in office should be different from remote jobs
Review from Customer Success Dept
Less working hours, more PTO time
Review from Engineering Dept
While I truly value my role and responsibilities here, my base salary is currently below market norms for my level. Bringing it closer to industry benchmarks would reinforce my contributions and further motivate me.
Review from HR Dept
I feel undervalued because I did not receive any salary increase in the last few years, despite the rising cost of living and inflation. To feel better about my compensation, I would like: Fair salary increases that align with inflation rates to maintain my purchasing power.
Review from Engineering Dept
Return of LTI that was taken away
Review from Operations Dept
It's a relatively well-known fact that GW pays under the market rate. This used to be compensated by having great company culture and other office perks. But now, in-office perks are pretty much gone, also, GW has been cutting financial benefits as well, for example, recent cut in LTI bonuses.
Review from Engineering Dept
Guidewire pays significantly lower than many other similarly sized companies in Dublin
Review from IT Dept
The compensation package is ~25-30% below benchmark for salary surveys in this region. The pay needs to improve substantially. Other benefits keep being removed or decreased, below what is offered in other companies.
Review from Engineering Dept
Better communication. Do not make changes to the role structure after the performance reviews/merit reviews have already been done. Very unfair!
Review from Operations Dept
I take accountability for issues far above my pay grade in discussions with customers. I often feel like I'm coaching people several levels above me. They get the acknowledgements and the benefits of visibility with the customer, and I get the real challenges of bringing the right people together.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Full gender equity should be REQUIRED. No clear info about salary & what salary range is. Low performing team members have been given payouts upon term and feels like they are being rewarded for their underperformance leaving the rest of the team to pick up their slack but not rewarded for it.
Review from HR Dept
Bring LTI back and act on the feedback
Review from Operations Dept
I feel more salaries are not always market rate, I feel we should look at adjust salaries at a more frequent level.
Review from HR Dept
Salary packages here fall 20-30% below average for this sector. This is backed up by every available salary index, and also anecdotally when comparing with peers working elsewhere. There's no way to make this better other than to address it. Even 5% below average would be acceptable.
Review from Product Dept
Adjustment of base pay (fixed compensation) in alignment with experience and contributions.
