I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
The interview process with Salesforce was excellent. I began with an initial phone screen with a recruiter, a phone call with the hiring manager, a presentation to a panel of current Salesforce managers, and a final on-site interview with two regional VPs. The initial phone screens were fairly standard, focused on understanding my background, current role, and desire to join the Salesforce team. The presentation was a 10 minute sales role play where I was a Salesforce employee giving a sales pitch and software demo to a group of prospective customers (the presentation was done virtually). Finally, the on-site interview was 2 hours, focused mainly on behavioral-style interview questions. The turnaround time from final interview to offer was one week.

Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
