Process
- Applied online.
- An HR person connected with me through WhatsApp. They asked for a basic introduction, questions from my resume, and about my previous company. They also inquired about Guidewire itself.
- Technical interview: A member from Guidewire connected with me through Google Meet and asked JavaScript questions. The interviewer was very calm, didn't make me panic or stress, and even provided hints and explained solutions.
- In-person interview: First, the HR from Guidewire emailed me asking me to pick a date for the onsite interview and stated that a confirmation email would be sent later. When I emailed them with my preferred date, I didn't receive a confirmation email. When I followed up with another email, the HR said they were finalizing with another candidate.
They could have said that in the beginning. They gave me hope and then rejected me.

Pros: Great work-life balance and nice office space.
8 mandatory office days per month.
Great colleagues.
Great benefits:
* Medical
* Dental
* Optical
* Wellness
* Mobile Phone
* Home Internet
Cons: Salary from above market rate has been adjusted to market rate.
Low salary increment.
No room for salary negotiation during compensation review sessions.
Removal of Long Term Incentives for low-level engineers demoralized a lot of long-term employees.
Fully remote to mandatory 8 days in the office per month.
A lot of work with internal-only technologies (Gosu) makes it harder to grow as a Java engineer.
Hired as a Java Engineer but worked as a full-stack developer.
Working on many projects in parallel.
Personally, I think this company is not a good place for engineers starting their career due to the use of proprietary internal technologies. But for older engineers at the later stages of their career, where this does not matter to them, everything else would be perfect.
