Process
There were 4 rounds of interviews.
- First, with a tech lead. Lot of questions around technologies and design decisions.
- Second, with a developer doing a code assessment. I was allowed to use my own IDE instead of the online one, because it was better to show my ways of working (e.g., unit testing).
- Third round, with a software engineering director, focusing on past experiences and realistic expectations around the ways of working at ServiceNow.
- Fourth and last interview, with a software architect, discussing the software delivery process and my knowledge around architecture.

Pros: People are helpful. There is a good balance of women and men. The technology is interesting and useful to our customer base. Squint just a little bit, and one can convince oneself that we are doing good for the world.
Cons: Managers care primarily about pleasing their managers, which ends up causing excessive process overhead. Their goal is to deliver the minimum possible deliverable to minimize the risk of being penalized by their managers – aka, CYA.

Pros: They support their employees in so many ways: support for diversity, support with additional recharge days off, support when horrible things happened in my personal life. My managers were able to adapt my work, time off, and everything I needed.
Cons: We're doing a lot; there's always something more to do.
