      Technical Consultant - North America Interview

      23 Aug 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Guidewire in Jul 2012

      Interview

      Started with a technical interview asking about Java basics Next was the code test. They sent me some code with missing parts and asked me to fill them in. One of them was JPA, another was JMS. The last one was a bad code problem that demonstrated a task. I was asked to point out all of the bugs or inefficiencies with it and rewrite it better. The next phone interview was a less technical than the first. He asked about experience and leadership skills. The last set of interviews was in Chicago. There I met with 3 interviewers. They had some basic technical questions, but no coding. I thought I did well during these interviews, but I also felt that they were looking for someone with a consulting or insurance background, putting me at a disadvantage.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire

      Interview

      The process is so fast, but multiple steps. 1) Recruiter interview.: We just talk about experience (15 min) 2) Technical interview.: Almost 2 hours of Java question: OOP concepts, tier architecture, ant, jms, sql, xml, Junit. 3) Technical test.- 3 hours, for 4 exercises: SQL, JMS, XML, code errors detection 4) Face to face interview.: 3 Individual interviews (manager, product specialist and director) nothing technical, just talk about experience, and how to resolve conflicts in the field. Two days after the face to face interviews, I got a call from recruiter, told me she was working in the offer. They are looking for people that really want to stay in the company for long time. I had experience in the GW products. I had been working with some GW employees. The interviewers have called every one that I know from GW and they have asked for my performance.
