I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire in Feb 2022
Interview
1. Initial HR Screen + Salary Expectations
2. Online OA
3. Hiring Manager Interview
4. 2 Technical Interviews
5. One Behavioral Interview
Interviewers were nice but I ultimately decided to decline the company due to other offers. Also, declined due to the HM/HR being inconsistent with salary expectations. Told them my expectations, was told it was an acceptable range, but was lowballed by 20%. Also, HM/HR were deceptive when it came to TC calculations. No one in the industry includes refreshers and performance bonuses in the TC calculation.
I am sure Guidewire has great and smart people working there, but I recommend being more transparent with salary expectations. Candidates need to take time off work to get interviewed, not everyone has time to go through 6 rounds of interviews and be low-balled with salary.
