I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Hyderābād)
Interview
Interview had 4 rounds over 1 week. Includes hands on coding and design questions. Master round is the most challenging, question is asked to judge approach towards unsolvable questions. A lot of focus is on system design and database design.

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
