I’ve seen a lot of change here, and I admit it felt disruptive at times. But today the company is far more structured, with clear roles and responsibilities across functions — something that wasn’t always the case when Guidewire had fewer employees.
The benefits are solid, and the leadership team (along with a few managers I’ve worked with) is genuinely kind, grounded, and strong both technically and personally.
Change naturally brings uncertainty, but with time things settle. The ownership and scope coming to India makes me feel proud to be part of this growth. It has helped my technical journey and given me real satisfaction in the work I do.
One of my managers once told me: “Be consistent. Just because the reward didn’t come this year doesn’t mean your effort was wasted. It’s seen, and the right opportunities will come.”
At Guidewire, I truly believe that.
I wanted to be part of many other interesting initiatives beyond my engineering work, but of course, I can’t be everywhere at once. 😄
Doing great, keep up the energy.
The online assessment had two questions and 15 MCQs covering CS fundamentals. The OA was easy to medium. One question was a simple greedy question, and the other was a hard 2-pointer question. The MCQ section was tricky.
The process began with a friendly recruiter call to explain the role. This was followed by an online coding assessment and a one-hour technical interview over Zoom. The interview involved theory questions on Java and problem-solving.
A 30-minute phone screen with a recruiter was followed by a 2-hour Codility exam. I scored 75% on the Codility exam, only to receive an automated rejection email a few days later. This reflects poorly on their recruitment process, making a candidate
