      QA Engineer Interview

      29 Apr 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Foster City, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire (Foster City, CA) in Mar 2009

      Interview

      Was asked totally trivial questions about Java, SQL, and black-box testing during a courteous 1-hour 1:1 interview. Returned for a planned 4 hour interview in software testing, expecting programming and puzzle questions. Was asked absolutely nothing relevant to testing and software verification during the initial 45 minute period by a quirky and non-technical "program manager" who obviously had not read my resume at all. As best I could figure from his mindless babbling, the questions concerned estimating the priority of testing various drop-boxes and check-boxes in a GUI application that he was barely able to even describe. The remainder of the interview didn't even take place. I departed and refused to shake the interviewer's hand upon leaving.

      I interviewed at Guidewire

      Interview

      The process was standard - phone screen then onsite. They make you feel very comfortable. Phone screening is just to filter out big mismatches. Onsite is more technical questions based on your resume.

      QA Engineer Interview

      23 Sept 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Guidewire

      Interview

      There are four stages typically in the Guidewire Interview process for a QA Engineer, they are: Phone Screen: This is where a recruiter from Guidewire phones you to ask about your experience, interest in the job and knowledge of the company. Exam: Once passed the phone screen you will sit an exam, you'll have a day or two to complete it and the questions on it range from testing, problem solving and software engineering. Phone Interview: Once passed the exam, you will have an interview with an employee of the company, sometimes someone who'll be on your team of the same (if not higher) position as you. The questions asked for this part revolves around types of testing, testing criteria, automation knowledge and further software engineering questions. *cough* databases *cough* 1:1 Back-to-back Interviews: Once you pass the phone interview, the recruiter will schedule three interviews, one with your manager, one with another QA Engineer on your team, and a random software engineer from any team. Further Readings: If you're still reading this, please don't fret the interviewers are there to help you throughout the process, if you don't know how to answer a question don't get annoyed, just ask the interviewer for more details, and if you really don't know the answer then tell the interview to give you examples. Don't worry if your nervous, most people are so it's normal. When I was taking these interviews I was very nervous especially the final ones, but make sure you know what your talking about and you'll fly by to success!

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Guidewire in Jan 2013

      Interview

      The recruiter called after I applied online to the company. They scheduled a telephonic interview. There were questions like what do I know, how much automation experience, java experience, why I am leaving the current job etc. I was told that I would get a call within two days. But did not hear from them at all.
