Process

Be careful, as Guidewire does not keep your personal information confidential. The industry will know you are interviewing, sometimes before you even get the call to set up the interview.

After the interview, be prepared for lots of gossip and talking about you. This is not just internal to Guidewire people; they may even call your current employer to tell them you interviewed with Guidewire but are not going to get the job!

It's not uncommon for an in-person interview to take 6-8 hours to complete. That is the first in-person interview alone!

Questions

Asked to explain a policy life cycle for an insurance policy and how to rate it, but their business experts do not even understand the importance of a rate effective date and how it can be different than the policy effective date.
