I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Nov 2016
Interview
I've applied to the position through LinkedIn Job Posting. After some days/weeks, I've been contacted by email to schedule a 15-minutes phone screening.
A few days after this screening I've been contacted again and was scheduled two technical interviews with program architects, both the same day.
Again, a few days after I've received a positive feedback and a remote panel interview was scheduled. I've been given instructions on the presentation to be created and had 5 participants

Question 1
How you'd approach a project using a technology you are not familiar with?
This was the second time i went through the proces and I have to say, this is a very inefficiënt proces. The first round is a first check by the recruiter. The second and third round was a consulting interview and the fourth round is the panel interview. Oh yeah and if your lucky you would also have a fifth round.. it took about 1,5 month. What i don’t like about the proces, is the inconsistency, and no transparancy. E.g. If they would like you to succeed in the proces, they will assign you someone from the team who would walk you through the expectations of the panel interview. In my case it didn’t happen. Even after a request by mail. “ no answer” from the hiring manager or recruiter and no explanation why in my case it was not possible. If you have a good round you will have a immediately a call back from the recruiter. If you have a bad round, they will threat you like garbage (You will hear nothing anymore) Not living up to the values they pretend to maintain.

How do you mitigate a program crisis? How do you define an MVP
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Nov 2021
Interview
The process took several months (due to holidays and lockdowns). I interviewed online and at Salesforce offices. All usual steps: HR screening , then 1:1 tech, another tech talk with soft skills, manager interview and panel session with case presentation (can be online or on-site - I suggest on doing it in person for better communication and feedback). I cannot tell that things were hard. At some point it was not clear what exactly is expected, but there were no "tricky" questions or something not work related. I got assistance and guidance from recruiting team. Everything was friendly and polite.
