Hi everyone,
I recently interviewed at ServiceNow for the Software Engineer (IC2) role at their Hyderabad office. Here’s a quick breakdown of the process:

🔹 Round 1: DSA
Jump Game II

Minimum Number of Swaps to Make the String Balanced

🔹 Round 2: DSA + HLD
Remove K Digits

Merge Two Sorted Lists (without extra space)

One basic high-level design question.
Good discussion overall.

🔹 Round 3: Hiring Manager
Situation-based and behavioral questions

Discussion on past work

DSA variation of Majority Element (More then 3 distinct elements)

One HLD problem

🔸 Hiring Paused
After this round, hiring was paused for the team I was interviewing with. HR contacted me after ~10 days and asked if I’d like to interview for a different team. I agreed.

🔹 Round 4: DSA + DB Design
Modified Maximal Square (with coordinates)

One database design question

🔹 Round 5: DB Design + DSA
Basic DB schema design

Valid Parentheses

✅ Final Outcome
Got the offer in May 2025.

I don't know how to comment while staying anonymous.

1. I had applied and forgotten about it, but after a few months, the HR reached out to me, I’d say it was pure luck.
2. I don't know the exact team.
