I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Guidewire (Tokyo) in May 2012
Interview
First round is the technical exam that you will answer all the questions online.
Basicly focused on the xml, database concept, java programing and business design.
Second round is technical interview,but the interviewer had a Indian accent. Made me very nervous. I almost forget everything.
The third round , technically with three different interview and for each, it will be an hour interview. About your current job, your career path, what kind of things you want to do. and also challenge with your ability to handle with the tough questions that the customer will ask.
The last round is the Japanese language test
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the business analyse is the part that I think is very different. the time is very limited, you don't have enough time to think a good solution.Another issue is the part the interviewer challenge your past experience to confirm if you had the ability to face the tough customer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Guidewire (Bedford, NH)
Interview
It was a gauntlet of demanding questions and interviews. I had to go through three separate interviewers of different backgrounds. Cultural fit was a big portion of the decision even though this was a highly technical and diverse job for which I was applying.
very professional process. A chain of phone/personal interviews
the personal interview was led by 3 specialists (different areas: technic, business...)
The technical part was not very difficult. Base programming and DB specific knowledge were tested.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2013
Interview
Phone screen; Phone interview; Written skill test in Java and SQL; F2F in Chicago
Phone screen was a general interview with technical questions regarding XML and SQL. Written was very easy, had some Java, SQL and SQL DB design related questions. XML that needed to be built required insurance knowledge. Regarding DB design, there could be multiple solutions.
Inteterviewers seemed to ok but came across a bit arrogant
