I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Recruiter phone screen; three in person interviews with team members, including hiring manager; follow-up in-person interview with another person related to the role; two phone interviews; and then a final final interview with hiring manager and another person, during which I presented a 30-60-90 plan and they offered me the job in person.
I had a very positive recruiting and interview experience. The recruiter was extremely professional, quick to respond, and kept in close touch during the 2-month process. Interview questions were highly relevant and gave me a chance to highlight my expertise and talk through my approach to the job. Interviewers were friendly and didn't ask questions just to ask them or to attempt to stump me. I appreciated all the touch points with different people because it proved that they were doing their diligence on me and allowed me to do mine, and that made me feel really confident that the role was a great fit on both sides.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Glassdoor community! I'm happy to read that you appreciated the process, and that our recruiting team was effective and responsive throughout. Congrats on finding a great opportunity with us and welcome to the #SalesforceOhana. - Ana Recio, SVP of Global Recruiting
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
First interview with HR, followed by interviews with several people from various departments (some of them from completely unrelated areas), and the process ended with a live case study simulation. The preparation for the case study was quite intense as the scope of work requested was very wide, which I found kind of unfair as they expect candidates to invest so much time preparing for a final step in the recruitment process. Because there were so many interviewers attending the final case study simulation, I felt that no one took the actual responsibility for guiding me through the recruitment process and properly briefing me for each step, which resulted in misaligned expectations for the final presentation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There wasn’t any unusual or new question. All the interviewers went through the classical flow of getting to understand a bit about me as a person, career evolution, questions to qualify fit with the role
I had several rounds of interviews, including with both senior team members and peers of the hiring manager. These were broken into four interviews, two of which had two interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They explained some of the challenges in the department and asked how I would formulate a way to address the issue, including if I had done this in previous companies and what worked/didn't work.
The interview process was engaging and thorough. I felt like I got a good idea of the culture and the team I could work with.
Each Interviewer did ask different questions and gave me time to ask mine.
