I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
I applied around 5 months ago and I applied for multiple locations. The process was a bit long. It took me 2 months when a recruiter from another state gave me a coding challenge. Then after that a month of waiting they sent me an email that they decided not to move forward on me. And a lot of declined emails from another cities came along.
But after a few days later another recruiter from SF reached out to me to set up a phone interview. That took a week and finally I got set up for a phone interview.
The phone interview was very technical and less behavioral. Definitely know your OOP and Data Structures and the definitions.
After the phone interview, with no less than 2 or 3 hours I got an email that I'm moving to the next round, which is a video conference call. This is more about tell me about yourself and what I'm interested in doing on and what projects that I did that I'm mostlu proud of. Then after that, the interviewer asked me if I have any questions.
Overall the process was a little long when but very responsive and fulfilling.
I got an home assessment, managed through the Hackerrank system.
It had 3 Leetcode questions, one was pretty simple and the second was harder. Needed to be with my camera on the whole session, and full screen. They gave 60 minutes to the whole session - means the two questions
Waiting for next steps.
oa-> recruitercall -> 2 45 min interviews
one behavioral, this is standard, use STAR method to answer culture fit and other Qs
, one LLD (design an elevator class and scheduler, with increasing levels of complexity)
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was really smooth, I loved my recruiter and everybody was really friendly. 2 rounds, 1 technical, 1 behavorial, each 45 min. Behavioral had questions related to their core values and technical was a LC easy. Technical had a lot of concept questions and a bit of practial design collaborate session.
