I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2024
Interview
Process consisted of a pre interview with HR and then a technical interview with a senior admin. The job description did not match the actual job requirements. Said they needed Nagios, they wanted prometheus. Said they wanted puppet and instead quizzed about ansible. Linux questions were minimal and per the interviewer not as important as cloud experience, which again did not match the job listing. Spent four hours doing prep and refresh to waste my time on things not even clearly listed as requirements.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Sydney) in Apr 2024
Interview
4 interviews within 2 weeks. All the interviews were mixed of behavioral and technical. some questions like Linux boot process were asked 3 times. Not sure why they are obliged to have four interviews when there was nothing really new in 3rd and fourth sessions. Very unfriendly people to talk too except the hiring manager. Even one of them didn't bother to introduce himself at start of session. Irrelevant questions to ask like how to create zone in Solaris while this job is about Linux/Redhat.
One of the guys based in India didn't have proper network connection and had to resume the session 2 times and at the end turned off his video.
HR person didn't bother to provide feedback after interviews and had to be chased several times to provide feedback.
At the end with all the follow ups from my side and spending 4 hours interview, they blamed me for not being motivated for this opportunity and rejected my application.
A terrible experience with this company which will never happen again.
