This is to bring to your notice the rejection of candidates by your company due to inconsistent evaluation methods and incompetent interviewers. I have interviewed with ServiceNow thrice in the past two years.
First time, I was rejected due to gaps in my knowledge. That's understandable.
Second time, I was interviewed for the IoT team by a person with equal years of experience. I answered all questions correctly and had experience working with Node-RED and a swarm of Raspberry Pis. The reason for rejection was not specified. Furthermore, the interviewer was unable to answer my technical cross-questions about the role, stating, 'I didn't have enough experience in IoT and was new to the team.'
Most recently, I was rejected over what seemed like an interview crafted to find flaws and reasons to reject me. The interviewer was unprepared for the interview and lacked a clear set of questions. He appeared not to have considered an evaluation criterion. He had not reviewed my profile and was speaking without structure. Questions to clarify the scope and/or constraints of the task were met with resistance and irritation on his part. I agree I have gaps in knowledge, but specifically looking for those gaps by asking quirky questions about the language/framework is a deeply flawed tactic. Not to mention, it's a quality I would like to avoid in teammates. Furthermore, it felt like the interviewer lacked comprehension skills and could not understand layered arguments when asked to clarify his own questions. He seemed confused even when presented with options. At the end of the interview, I asked about his background and role within the company. His response was, 'That's personal information.' This is unprofessional behavior and is generally frowned upon.
I am not a mind reader, and I am certainly not a technology wizard. However, given my experience with inconsistent and unprofessional interviewing methods at ServiceNow, I can conclude that I would not want to work there. I trust that you will look into this matter and schedule training for future interviewers. At the very least, I expect a checklist that includes reviewing the candidate's resume before the interview.
They seem to love function currying and million-item lists with long text at each index. Questions range from the difference between let and const to sorting a large array of strings with varying lengths – all within a 30-second window.
I was asked to write an algorithm for predictive text on phone keyboards (you know, how your phone suggests words as you type? Yeah, that one) by the interviewer mentioned above. (Slow claps)
People seem to be very interested in knowing where you're from and if at all you have connections with South India in some capacity.
