Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
After sending the CV, I had to complete three rather easy, online coding problems.
The phone screening did not contain technical questions.
The interview on-site had both technical and "non-technical" parts.
The technical part required knowledge of Java, its collections, and some algorithmic thinking.

Guidewire Work Experiences
- 4.0Good atmosphere, bad technologySoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 24, 2019Pros: - Really nice cash bonus as a long-term incentive. - People are positive and helpful.Cons: The technology was old and not open source, so it wasn't very promising. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wants to learn quickly as much as possible.
- 5.0Great for graduatesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeDublin, Dublin, IrelandNovember 7, 2021Pros: Good hours, great co-workers at times, and focused management. A wonderful place to start your career with lots of support.Cons: Salary is not great, project practices can go out the window sometimes. There's a bit of a clique when it comes to some areas and teams, which is hard to break into.
- 1.0Going downhill? Incompetent management. Think twiceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeFoster City, California, United StatesSeptember 16, 2016Pros: There are a few pros: play the game, play politics, and more. If you are good at it, you will be rewarded and promoted. Some smart engineers. Benefits are okay.Cons: - Too political. - No recognition for people who work hard and sincerely. * Middle management is incompetent and inconsistent (a bunch of no-do-gooders, honestly). - Polarized environment. - The company's core values, Integrity, Collegiality, and Rationality – gone with the wind. - Boring software, obsolete technologies and architecture. - Looking for direction; absolutely nothing organic.
