J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Guidewire (Dublin, Dublin) en avr. 2016
Entretien
Applied online and was emailed a few days later to set up HR screening phone interview, which was fine. The usual stuff about college, life, interests and information on the company and position. A code test is then scheduled whenever you choose. Code test is not difficult, well it shouldn't be if you've put in work in college. Consisted of 4 questions:
1. JDBC
2. Collection of Collections
3. Bad Code
4. JMS (Optional)
Do either 1 or 2, 3 is mandatory and 4 is optional. Took me 4 hours to complete (Most time spent on JMS as we hadn't covered it before this code test)
If your successful with the code test you will then have a phone interview with an engineer where the usual questions are asked. (4 Pillars of java, static, private, abstract, singleton pattern, SQL questions)
Then there is a face to face interview in Guidewire office consisting of 3 1 hour interviews. First was to draw architecture of FYP on whiteboard and talk through it, answer questions and a demo on GoSu. Second is the technical interview where I was asked to explain code on singleton pattern, static variables and a whiteboard problem which was focused on recursion. Final interview was a talk about my CV and HR questions like working in teams etc.
All in all a very positive experience. The people are lovely, very kind and helpful. The two girls working in HR (Dublin Office) were fantastic to deal with.

There are 4 stages:
1. General phone call (background, experience, CV stuff)
2. Coding test (JDBC, JMS, Bad code, Collections) - not difficult
3. Technical skills phone call (look at the interview questions)
4. Face to face interview in Dublin, hotel and transport paid by the company, a great chance to have a feeling of the place, visit the whole office and have a feel of the environment and working atmosphere.
The results and the scheduals of the next phase is fast and you don't have to be nervous at all.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Basic questions about:
-keywords; private, static...
- XML
- inheritance
all in all basic technical skills
the face to face interview is more like showing some of your projects, and letting them to get to know you a little better. There where also a few questions about how would you implement a function that does a certain thing, you do it on the blackboard
