I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in May 2017
Interview
The interview process was long. It took a total of a month and a half, but everyone is very friendly, professional and warm.
The first part was a screening, 2nd was the recruiter, and the last was an in-person interview where you meet a person in the same role, then a panel with managers. The last interview is about 2 hours long.
Overall, it's a standard interview. Really know everything about the company, and show you put work into it. Read articles, watch videos of Dreamforce, study Ohana, and practice, practice, practice!

Interview
Great experience during 3 sets of challenging interviews. Firstly with the recruiter (30 min call), and then 2 sets of interviews with your hiring manager and with an additional person from the company. Very responsive and quick process as well with hiring manager and with recruiter too.
