I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Guidewire in May 2016
Interview
The interview process is split up into four parts:
First, there is a telephone interview with H.R. They ask you about your experience, your knowledge of java, etc. The purpose of this interview is to see if you are a cultural fit for the company.
Second, there is a code test. The test is in java, and there are 4 questions - JDBC, Collections, Bad Code, JMS. You must do two questions.
Third, there is a technical telephone interview with a team. They ask questions and test your knowledge of Java, SQL, and XML.
Finally, there is a face-to-face interview at their offices. They will ask you about the contents of the code test, and also ask you to explain some things on a whiteboard.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Guidewire (Bengaluru) in Feb 2026
Interview
I applied in December through a referral and received a call in February. The process consisted of two in-person technical rounds conducted on the same day at the Bengaluru office.
Round 1:
This round was with a Senior Developer. The task was to implement a card game in Java. It was more like a pair-programming session rather than a DSA or system design round. The interviewer was collaborative and provided guidance when needed. I was able to implement most of the required functionality during the session.
Round 2:
This round focused on my resume, particularly my work experience and projects. There were two interviewers. I was asked to clone one of my projects onto their system and implement a new feature on the spot. In addition, they asked technical questions related to my project implementation and core concepts.
Overall, the process was hands-on and focused more on practical implementation. Expected deep understanding of every concept even for fresher role.
The rejection mail came very late, after 15 days of the interview. Also it was automated one with no clear feedback.
