I applied online. I interviewed at ServiceNow (San Jose, CA) in Apr 2014
Interview
Flew up to San Jose for a full day interview. Met with 8 different individuals. Typical interview but the hiring manager gave me a homework assignment: "How would you influence each of the individuals who interviewed you? What techniques would you use?" I spent considerable amount of time preparing an email which I sent back to her within 24 hours. I thought I did very well during the interview and had a well thought out presentation prepared which I shared with a panel and had overwhelmingly positive responses. Sad part is that after all that hard work I never heard back from ServiceNow. I followed up multiple times with the Recruiter and the hiring manager. Left voicemails to the recruiter but did not hear back from them until about 2 months later with a generic "Thanks but no thanks" email from HR. Terrible followup and lack of professionalism from the recruiter and the hiring manager so I'm glad I didn't get the job. Funny part is that after all this, I emailed the "bad guy", who played tough, to let him know how disappointed I was with the entire process. He immediately emailed me back and apologized that no one had followed up and that he was going to speak to the recruiter and the hiring manager to let them know that they should be more professional and get back to people especially after taking so much time out of my schedule and not even get a courtesy reply.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical interview questions. Nothing out of the ordinary. Last interviewer played the bad guy and seemed to be in a very bad mood. Was the end of the day for both of us so it was difficult to win him over.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ServiceNow (San José, ) in Jun 2024
Interview
The interview process was fast and could tell the hiring team was engaged and knowlegeable and was very fast at giving a result. The team reach out even during the interview process just to make sure I was still engaged.
3 rounds of interview excluding HR round. Team is spread globally, might have to be available at different time zone to understand. Thats it! HR is very cooperative who answers all questions.
Spoke with the recruiter on the phone and then the hiring manager for 30 minutes on zoom. The hiring manager spent 10-15 mins talking about what kind of candidate they're looking for. Asked me maybe 1-2 questions, and asked why I applied to ServiceNow. Rejected by an automated email.
