I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (Mississauga, ON) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied online and received an online Codility test which consists of 4 questions - 2 coding, 1 error solving, and 1 SQL query. After that, I got an email for a video interview with a Technical Engineer which was totally based on the different scenarios on codility test plus some basic OOPs & SQL concepts such as what is a trigger, view, real-life example of abstraction, access modifiers.
Then, I received a phone call from HR regarding the information of the next step which was a 3 hour 1:1 video interview with a senior technical engineer and two technical managers. The technical round was all about discussing the position, he asked me two programs to write and a SQL query. During the second hour, the technical manager talked about my experiences, projects, and situational-based questions based on the position and the last hour was all about behavioral questions.
I received the offer on the same day. Overall, it was a smooth process and all the interviewers I talked with were well-versed, informative, and good to talk to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Create a table from two tables that were already in the database
It was overall a good experience. Interviewers was nice. Three rounds back to back. Some oop fundamentals questions then onto some sql queries. Not too difficult. More behavioral than technical I'd say.
Got an email and call to set up an in person interview. Recruiter did not confirm the role, and I ended up interviewing for another role than I thought. Interview was technical (easy python and bash questions), and behavioural.
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Guidewire (Kuala Lumpur) in Apr 2022
Interview
For both parts that make up the interview process, the interviewers made sure I was well informed with the role that I applied for. They were nice and not too intimidating at all. Good interview experience in general.
