I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Bengaluru) in Aug 2016
Interview
Very bad experience.
Initially I had 3 skype rounds from US. Then 3 F2F for which I went to their office. Again they invited for F2F with their director and HR, so 2 more F2F for which I went to their office again. The HR told me they will issue the offer letter within 1-2 days. But no response from them even after 2-3 weeks. The consultancy told me that the person to decide salary is on some training, which indicated that I am selected. Finally I came to know from the consultancy that I am not cleared the last round with the director. ServiceNow (Service now) didn't even bother to inform me. The director who took the interview in the final round didn't have my resume neither asked me for one. He was just asking some random questions not knowing who/what I am.
I sent them an email saying it was really a bad experience and told them to show a minimum courtesy to inform the candidates about the status. They didn't even bother to respond with an apology.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between EC2 and VPC? Stupid question: this is like comparing apple and orange. One architect and one director, both of them asked this same question.
The process was straightforward: phone screen, meeting with the hiring manager, three more interviews with team members and department head involving technical and behavioral questions. However, at the end of it all, even though they said they wanted to proceed to hire me, they stated they did not (yet) have a budget/headcount available for the position and wouldn't be able to make an offer until next quarter IF they get the budget... so why were they interviewing for the position now in the first place? Frustrating to have spent all that time interviewing only to learn this AFTER the whole process.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Dublin, Dublin) in Dec 2024
Interview
2 technical interviews, 2 coding questions for each one and 1 system design questions, one coding question was NP hard.
and recruiter was about to move to final interview and then rejected saying that new requirements showing up so cannot move, I was like: ???
I mean I have seen similar stories here on Glassdoor about this similar situation, so I am not surprised, but can you find an even lamer excuse? Made my whole day, toxic people
