I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Santa Clara, CA) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied online through an employee referral for a few entry-level SWE positions.
Poor communication from recruiter, who emailed me to schedule a 45 min technical HackerRank but did not specify which role or team it was for. Scheduled the interview a week out. I emailed some follow up questions and got no response so I was on my own for my preparation. Interviewer was helpful at times, provided hints and leading questions. Heard nothing from them after the interview, sent a follow up email after a few weeks and got no response. After 2 months I got a rejection email.

Interview
2 interviews, one with hiring manager and other one was coding interview. Online assessment no leetcode style coding, allowed to use LLM, cursor. do not know why companies still do coding interviews when LLMs are writing code for you
HR round only, recruiter went rogue. Recruiter never emailed me back even though it went quite well, seems maybe the role was filled already by the time. The least they could do was email me back why instead of going rogue
Process was a moderate, had call from recruiter then followed by technical interview with two people. Later had an interview with hiring manager . I was given coding assessment which was medium difficult
