      Lead Engineering Manager Interview

      Sep 9, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Guidewire (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      A lot of stages of phone/webex interviews starting with HR and then senior leaders from different locations (Dublin, Foster City). After that couple, next stage is couple hours on-site interview in Dublin office with four groups of interviewers. Guidewire has a lot of online materials about the way the work. Big disappointment is when you find out during interviews that in reality they have kind of waterfall approach with formal PMO office and matrix-ed organization and use their own proprietary technology. During interview you won't be asked any specific questions on frameworks/methods/theories connected with software development life cycle, project management and/or people management, so this knowledge is not needed. I had impression that interviewers didn't have any deeper knowledge on those topics, but this might be only impression since there wasn't much talk about it. HR is very professional and after interviews they call you and try to provide you feedback.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Technical interview is very easy, recruiters want to grasp general candidate's understanding of multi-tiered architecture.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Regarding management, team leading, project management, questions were very generic and 100% asking candidate to provide some "case from your experience". You can easily make up stuff if you want to.
