The scheduled phone interview was set, but half an hour passed without HR showing up. When we rescheduled and conducted the phone interview later, she seemed not sorry and indifferent, and the interview felt more like for her KPI, not to recruit people.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Dublin, Dublin) in Jun 2023
Interview
Online interview, 3 rounds and HR was fairly quick in scheduling interviews. More related to understanding on large-scale systems and reliability engineering and automation. How do you react to incidents and stake holder management

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Sydney) in Jan 2021
Interview
Phone screen then multiple rounds of interviews. Both Technical and behavioral.
First interview was very technical and on a broad range of skills.
Second interview only focused on my self-declared weaknesses which seemed pointless to me. I get the impression the interviewer was only skilled in that area.
