Guidewire®

Alex – Wagner College, BS Accounting, 1984; VP, Professional Services
"I've worked with several world-class companies including JP Morgan, MBNA America, and The Hartford. Each of these companies was great in its own way. But Guidewire is far more special. I have the privilege of working with the brightest and most dedicated people I have ever worked with. I get paid for doing something that I am proud to do. I also get to treat customers the way I wanted to be treated when I was one of the people purchasing enterprise solutions and consulting services. I get to do all this while being involved in shaping a product that is second to none."

Ted – Drexel University, BS Computer Systems Management, 1986
"I used to work for a very large, prestigious consulting firm, but realized over time that to them, I wasn't a person – just a number. That company had no real culture of its own and embodied an organizational structure so massive, it was impossible to make an impact. It's great to work in a small, young company, one with a flat structure and an open and honest culture built on collegiality. Guidewire is a refreshing place to work and is a company where I can make an impact every day."

Ryan – University of Utah, BS Computer Science, 1996
"Working at Guidewire has been the height of my career. Our team has a wealth of experience and expertise which has led us to accomplish things I've only dreamt of at past companies. Solid, unit-test-proven builds and strong collaboration with Development, Product Management, and the Field have allowed our QA team to develop an impressive suite of tests and tools that would be the envy of most QA organizations. The end result is a history of great customer releases with an even brighter future ahead."

"I like working with people who are bright and motivated, and Guidewire is full of those. We are focused on efficiently writing and selling great software. Creativity and exploration is highly encouraged and everyone is open to trying things out, so we are constantly improving the way we do things. The open communication and trusting environment we have drives me to do my best. On top of that, everyone is just a lot of fun to work with!"

Vin – Worcester Polytechnic Institute, BS Mgmt. Information Systems, 1998
"I've only been with Guidewire for short time, but I feel comfortable in saying that Guidewire is a unique place to work. I have been in the software industry for about ten years, and what I feel makes Guidewire a unique place to work is the people, because people at Guidewire just do not just talk about ideologies like customer first, quality, and team work. They truly make an effort to implement and incorporate these ideologies everyday. They also take ownership of their work, take pride in being successful, and take responsibility when things go wrong."

Marcus – A. B. Princeton 1995, B.Phil. New College, Oxford 1997; Co-founder & VP, Products and Strategy
"To me, three attributes make Guidewire truly distinctive: first, an absolute commitment to integrity – telling customers, employees, and investors the straight-up truth. Second: rational, fact-based decision-making in every dimension of the company. And third, a very collegial environment with a bare minimum of hierarchy. What is distinctive is not that we aspire to these qualities; it's that we actually live up to them."

Jeremy – Stanford, Computer Science, BS 1996, MS 1998
"When deciding where to work I principally look for two things: intelligent, talented people who work well toward common goals, and a rational (but interesting!) business model that addresses the core needs of a rapidly growing market. Guidewire has both of these in spades, and I love working with my colleagues."
