I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Hyderābād) in Jul 2024
Interview
1. HR/TA discussion
2. Hiring Manager (Techno managerial)
Either they are doing an evergreen hiring to just keep the pool of candidates or they have no clue about what kind of candidates they are looking for. The interviewer doesn't know that a HashSet in Java doesn't store duplicate values. If we want to remove duplicates from an unsorted array, sorting is the best way (If Hashset it not allowed to use). If you want to copy static files, CDN is the solution and this person being a tech manager says CDN is a magic and he doesn't want to use it. FYI, CDN is a software with a logic behind it and not a magic.
Please train your interview panels. Seems like knowing some one very close is the only way to get into your company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Remove duplicates from an unsorted array without using HashSet or any other DS.
2. Sort a list of Strings.
3. How will you copy a big file from a central location to 300 servers.
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.

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
