Great summer experience
Great summer experience
Guidewire was a very cordial place to work. They seem to genuinely care about input from the employees. It still has a bit of a start-up feel.
Since it was the first year of the internship program, it was not the most organized. By the end, the project was done, and I didn't have much to do.
Start the internship process earlier in the school year and try to have people with similar start dates work on the same project.
