I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2021
Interview
- Applied online. Received a message from the recruiter about a month later asking for availability. The recruiter explained the process including the screening as well as interview rounds.
- Screening process involved a HackerRank evaluation with a single coding problem to be solved in 3 hours. The problem itself wasn't very difficult. It's better to add unit tests and doc string in the solution though if you have time
- An introductory screen with the Hiring Manager to determine whether my profile was a right fit for the role.
- 5 rounds of onsite which involved 2 design rounds + 2 DS/coding rounds + 1 round with a ML manager
- Recruiter informed me the following week they'd like to move forward to the offer negotiation stage.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Bengaluru)
Interview
It was good overall. The HR had transparency. But for ML role they asled core DSA questions and not a single ML realted topics. I think they should revise their structure of technical interviews according to the roles and functions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Comprised of DSA questions on live session on hackerrank
Needed to do presentation as the last step of the i/v, didn't feel like spending a lot of time preparing it (esp. if a lot of companies ask for it).
Very disorganised set up of interviews, would wait for a long time, not hearing anything back, etc.
