I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2019
Interview
I applied through an employee referral for the team I was hoping to join. I had a series of 1:1 interviews, then a discovery/panel process that took about 3-4 weeks. I felt incredibly supported through the entire process, and that Salesforce had really invested in me even just as a candidate. You are assigned a coach through the discovery/panel process who are really invaluable, allowing you to bounce ideas off them and do dry runs of your presentation. I felt like they wanted me to succeed throughout the process, and it made me even more motivated to join the team. Definitely one of the better interview processes of my career.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My role is for their healthcare vertical, so a lot of questions centered around big challenges that face healthcare orgs today
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
Submitted resume through a referral, started the interview process a week and a half later then had 5 grounds of interviews and received the offer. Interview difficulty was not bad, the solution demo was the only part that involved considerable prep.
