Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Gurgaon, Haryana Jan 2010 – Reviewed Aug 15, 2012
Interview Details First I had a face to face interview and then followed by a telephonic interview with the APAC marketing VP based in Singapore. The interview process was short and crispt and they did not delay in letting me know.
Negotiation Details – The only drawback was that I was offered a much lower salary package than industry standards, and I could not negotiate this further and hence accepted.

Lead/Senior Software Engineer, IOS Mobile Applications at Salesforce.com
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Seattle, WA (US) Jun 2013 – Reviewed Jun 14, 2013 New
Interview Details Contacted by a Salesforce.com recruiter via LinkedIn inMail. After an informational call with the recruiter, she set up a phone screen with the hiring manager. The phone interview was pretty general- experience, a few technical questions, and then any questions I had about the job. After passing the phone interview, I had to take a programming test that lasted about 2 hours. It was done remotely over GoToMeeting and involved a programming exercise to create an iPhone app in XCode. After passing the programming test we set up an onsite interview. There were 5 interview sessions lasting on average 45 mins each. Several of the sessions were done via video conference or Skype. Questions covered the usual: object oriented design and data structures, iOS concepts, unit testing and UI automation, and work experience and behavioral. Lastly I talked to the hiring manager again about team fit and career goals.
Interview Question – Programming exercise was good- you had 1:15 hr in XCode to write a simple iOS application with data persistence, implement a shake motion gesture, localize it into french and spanish, and ensure the UI resized correctly. Then you had to write the test cases for your app. All told if you knew what you were doing you should have the basics done in under an hour. From there you can spend the rest of your time making the UI pretty. Answer Question

Sales Representative at Salesforce.com
Accepted Offer – Reviewed Jun 10, 2013 New
Interview Details Two phone interviews. One with the recruiter and one with the sales department manager. Both were straight forward and the questions were not difficult. Kind of a really usual interview. After 1 week I got invited to their office and had three interviews with different people. The first two were really easy and had no unexpected questions. The last one was a bit more challenging because I had to draw the company structure of Salesforce on a wide board and explain it. But all in all it went pretty well.
