      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Foster City, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Guidewire (Foster City, CA) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      I was called for an Interview for a Senior Software Engineer Applications position. The interview lasted 4 hours. First hour I was asked to calculate price of a cofee. You can chose the cofee and add additional items like milk creamer etc. Second Hour same problem but now cost of extra items depends on the size of the cup. Third hour i was asked to fix issues in an artificially badly written Set class. Fourth hour was a general discussion with the Project manager. All interviewers were very good. Treated me with respect. All of them seem to be good technically. i received a call from HR next day that i was rejected. Which i appreciate, since many companies dont call if you are rejected. They also gave me the reason of my rejection saying i had over engineered the cofee vendor and i took around 1 hour and 50 mins to solve the first problem. They expected me to solve it sooner. On the Set Class i knew i couldnt identify problems immidietely so i knew i wont get through. Overall very good experience no regrets even though i got rejected. This is a good company to work for !

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (Mississauga, ON) in Oct 2024

      Interview

      The interview took place in 4 rounds. The first one was a general conversation with HR. The second was a technical round, during which pair programming was introduced, and the interviewer and I solved a problem together. The third was an in-person day at the office, where I was assigned to two different teams and we pair-programmed on some of their live issues. The fourth one was a communication with their Senior VP which was also a bit technical.
