      Sales Development Representative Interview

      13 July 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

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

      Interview

      One of my friends works in Salesforce, so the process started with an Employee Referral. A few days later I got a call from my Recruiter, with whom I stayed in contact during the whole Interview Process. Through the Interview Process, she was my contact person who gave me feedback and also told me what to expect in the coming interviews. As I have a legal background, the Interview Process started with assessing whether I would be a good fit for the Customer Intelligence department (2x interviews). After these two interviews, the interviewers were of the opinion that a rol in Sales Development might work better for me due to my rather extensive past working experience. The third interview consisted of three parts: 1) presentation for two Sales Development Managers + a mock call with them; 2) interview with a Business (Development Manager (face to face) and 3: interview with Business Development Director (by telephone). I also got to talk with one of the SDRs, we had a good and open chat about her work. After this day, I was sold. Two days later I got an offer. My overall opinion is that the way how Salesforce treats candidates is just outstanding. My recruiter was available when I needed her, her feedback and instructions for the coming interviews were very helpful. The interviews were actually very pleasant to do. Of course there were the nerves as I had no sales experience whatsoever, but the interviewers are not there to give you a hard time. Although they do expect that you prepare well (and you should :)) How I experienced it, is that the whole process went swift and quick and in a pleasant and friendly way. In the end, I declined Salesforce's offer as I got an offer with a law firm.
