      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce

      Interview

      The hiring process is a pleasant one. It starts with a phone screen by a recruiter (revolves around your skills and interests) followed by a technical phone screen scheduled afterwards. Technical phone screen is mostly about your background. A technical problem centered around DS is discussed. If you manage to move forward, you have to take programming task. I personally found myself short on time and managed to do the bare minimum asked. Make sure you're well versed with the language you choose to take the test as you won't have a lot of time to look up the APIs. After this is onsite interviews. There's five-six 1:1 interviews which includes a paid-for lunch with an employee :). There shouldn't be any surprises if you're well prepared with the basics of DS and brush up your knowledge of skills mentioned in the job description

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Raleigh, NC) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      Very well defined process. 3 rounds of interview: 1. Technical Phone Screen for 30 minutes. This interview is focussed on basic JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS concept questions like interface, creating dropdown, difference between String, StringBuilder, StringBuffer, Comparators in JS etc. 2. Remote Programming Test This is a programming assignment which needs to be solved and submitted back in few hours. You can program it in your choice of language and editor. Its not a live coding (Google document) thing so you can be offline and code at your leisure. Expectation here is the solution should work and should have good error handling and test cases. Good to practice Linked Lists, Trees, Graphs for this. 3. On-Site Interviews. There are 4 on-site interviews 45 minutes each in the following manner. A. Behavioral Interview: Questions like why you want to join Salesforce, describe current job, role, experience, what you want to work on, what are your goals in next few years. Its also a great chance to ask questions about the team and culture, job roles and expectations etc. B. Technical Interview 1 - White Board Coding questions. Maximum 2 questions depending on time. Focused on basic Computer Science Concept like Sorting, Recursion, Tree Traversal etc. Goal is to have a clean working code on white board which is efficient. C. Technical Interview 2 - White board interview focused more on application of Computer Science knowledge especially designing the backend of a website or an application, REST APIs etc. D. Technical Interview 3 - White board interview focused on your projects from school or previous work. Describe the project, why it was necessary, what issues was it addressing, how it was implemented, how it solved the issue and how the metrics were collected. They will also expect that you know the existing Salesforce products (Sales or Service Cloud) and will ask you some questions surrounding that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What features did you like from Salesforce Sales Cloud product? Which features did you not like and how will you improve it?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in June 2017

      Interview

      The process started with the recruiter reaching out after I had someone refer me. The first step was a technical phone screen. It was a nice discussion and the question was a medium difficulty level DP problem. I solved the first part and could not finish the second part. They extended an invite for the onsite loop. I had 4 interviews 1 hour each. And a lunch discussion with the Director. Interview 1 - Medium level question followed by an extension. Lunch - More information about the team and role Interview 2 - One easy Tree question and one medium DP question. Nothing unexepected Interview 3 - One medium question followed by a lengthy discussion on one of the sorting algorithms. Didn do to well in this interview Interview 4 - A basic design question, some design pattern discussion and REST discussion.

      Interview questions [1]
