I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ServiceNow
Interview
I applied via referral. Attended two rounds of interview over Zoom. Questions asked on DS, Multithreading, basics of OOPS.
Regarding the first interview, for the first round, write JAVA code to create a deadlock. The interviewer really helped me a lot by giving hints. Next question is to come up with an algorithm to randomly select a item from a list. Catch is you cannot select already selected item ( like play random song from a list of songs). Next question is given an function which will return 1 or 0 with equal probability, write another function using the first function which returns 0 with 25% and 1 with 75% probability.
Regarding the next round, write code to find power of a number. Then, he asksed all the testcases. Next question is when to use interface and when to use abstract class. I answered all the questions.
HR didn't even show the courtesy of mentioning that they are no longer considering me for the further rounds (I saw the status in the portal).
Given a function which will return 1 or 0 with equal probability, write another function using the first function which returns 0 with 25% and 1 with 75% probability.
I applied online. I interviewed at ServiceNow (Santa Clara, CA)
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
