I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow in Oct 2024
Interview
CTC: 43 (16 in hand) LPA - Bangalore
30 Students were shortlisted based on Resume
After 2 weeks, the first round was conducted
it had 4 questions - Problem Solving, Python, SQL and JavaScript
the level of questions was too easy, so they decided to remove about 22 students saying they had high 'plag' and stuff..
Now, previously they said after first round they will conduct interviews for shortlisted candidates but one week after the first round they told us they will be taking another coding round within 3-4 days for those remaining 8 students that had low 'plag'.
The 2nd coding round had 1 easy question and 1 hard question, students completing 1.5 questions were selected for the interviews.
In the interviews they asked about DSA concepts and gave a Leetcode Question.

I applied through university. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Bengaluru)
Interview
I applied it through my college campus drive. It was a two-phase interview where phase one was conducted on hackerrank and from that set six of us got shortlisted to phase two. Now phase 2 had three rounds where two rounds were for technical and the final round was with the HR. The hackerrank exam was average with 1 basic question, 1 medium question and one prompt engineering question along with general aptitude and soft skills.
In the virtual interviews I had to solve one question per round. it was more about how well our problem solving skill works cause in the first round i faced some compilation issues so i explained the code with a pseudocode and then coded in my native IDE.
