I applied online. I interviewed at Guidewire (Kuala Lumpur) in Nov 2023

Interview

There were total 3 rounds: 1 hour online code test, 1 hour technical interview, and 1 hour hiring manager interview. Online code test: 2 coding questions - not too challenging yet require logical thinking. (Also a 20 mins HR screening call after passing the first round, to talk about the company background, benefits etc.) Technical interview: Some basic questions (FYP, projects, programming languages), MCQ theory question on inheritance, interface, equals VS ==, access modifier etc. + one live coding question. Hiring manager interview: Cultural questions that focuses your goals, personalities, soft skills, experiences etc. Overall good experience, the interviewers were really professional and friendly. The hiring process took longer than usual/expected.

Interview

DO NOT PROCEED WITH INTERVIEWING UNTIL YOU GET CONFIRMATION OF SALARY RANGE BY MULTIPLE SOURCES I was reached out to by a recruiter who gave me incorrect information about the salary range. I was not provided with the accurate salary range until I had already spent many hours on phone screens, interviews, and a coding test. My process: Recruiter screening (with inflated salary quote) 1st Zoom interview with 2 engineers. 2nd zoom interview with 2 engineers. Take home code test. Invited to in-person office visit/interview. At the time of the invite to in-person visit was when I was informed the first salary range I was told in writing via a LinkedIn message from a recruiter, was incorrect. I told them I would only proceed if the salary range for the job was what I was originally told. They came back to me and said they would not be able to provide the salary I was first given. So I declined to proceed any further.

Good interview. Efficient. It was overall a good experience. Lots of steps though and too many people interviewing for no reason. But easy interview but felt like too many unnecessary steps that could have been avoided.

Difficult Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (San Mateo, CA) in Sep 2023

Interview

After an encounter with a recruiter from the organization in a whatsapp chat they have accomodated with the interview after conversing with me my expertise in the field and gave a Online assessment over Codility to test my capabilities. After I am able to pass the OA, i was asked for the 4 interview rounds where three of them are programming interviews where the live coding in the form of pair programming is conducted. Most of the rounds are mix of questions on programming and my ability to understand the problem with my thought process in solving it. And the final round is Behavioral round with director of the team we are going to work for. This round is mostly about my work experience aligning with the team and how am i culturally fit to the organization.

Interview Questions
  • What are your expertise in the team ? How did you work in the team at your previous experiences ? What are the design patterns you have used prior ? How can you overcome tough deadlines ? And most of my questions go through my resume.

If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?

In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
