Guidewire is unlike any other company I've worked for. The culture manages to hang on to a lot of the positives of smaller startups while still being a bigger more serious enterprise. Leadership is dedicated to diversity and put their money where their mouth is every day.

Guidewire has been a great place to work - it's the rare tech company that is actually working to help people directly, while living up to internal values rooted in transparency, honesty, and teamwork.

They are earnest and transparent about goals, progress, and accomplishments.

They are extremely transparent and stay engaged both with the business side and the cultural side of Guidewire.

Getting to work with wickedly smart people to solve unique challenges to stay ahead of the market and our customers' expectations.

Guidewire actually lives by their stated values. It's not common to see a company that actually backs up their talk with actions.

Everyone is extremely willing to work together and people consistently come to the table with working together to solve problems as their first priority.

More diverse than anywhere I've worked in the Bay Area. Lots of different perspectives and ideas make it feel like we are always looking ahead.

Guidewire actually lives its stated values. I've never worked anywhere that actually practices what they preach first. It makes our culture insanely collaborative and positive.

We actually live our values and it comes out in every interaction. Everyone on the team knows we're all working together and there are surprisingly few negative interactions.

A brilliant team that is diverse across all metrics. Not something you find in Silicon Valley. It's great to know that I can always get a fresh perspective on things I'm doing.

Knowing that the products we build are critically important to people who are possibly experiencing the worst day of their life and we have a direct impact on making that day better.

Guidewire Gives Back is a great perk that pairs paid time off to volunteer with donation matching. It's the most comprehensive corporate citizenship system I've ever been a part of. I love it.

Getting to solve global problems that have a direct impact for regular people who are possibly having the worst day of their lives. Working at an insurance software company has been unexpectedly fulfilling in that way.

Recent changes to our flexible work policies have been a great response to COVID as well as a great way to show that there is trust that Guidewire people can perform in the environment that is best for them.

They aren't just dedicated to driving up stock price, but they understand that if we do our job well and our product is good, the value will be apparent. It's refreshing to work for a company that truly values customers first.

It's extremely flexible. With COVID we had some huge changes to our benefits to reflect the reality of working from home and needing to support small businesses in our communities. This included a stipend to purchase home office upgrades and a recurring allowance for family meals purchased locally.
