Interview
The interview process took 3-4 weeks from date of application to get the offer. The interview process was very clear and precise, I had one of the best experience interviewing with Salesforce and Recruiter was always on top of everything during each and every step of the interview.
After 1 week of submitting my application, I got an email from the recruiter to set up an introductory call about the position and my interests.
- Set up the video conference interview call with one of the team member which was a combination of both programming and work experience related question. IPerson was very pleasant to interview with.
- After 2-3 of my first interview, I got the email from my recruiter about the feedback and the next step in the interview process which was HackersRank online assignment for 2 hours.
- After the online assignment, they called me for the final round of video call interview with 3 different persons including the Hiring Manager and two other Senior architects from the team. These interviews were more of a performance engineer and troubleshooting perspective and some behavioral questions from your recent work experience.
In around 1 week after the interview, I got the call from the recruiter that team wanted to extend an offer which I happily accepted.

I had applied through salesforce career portal. After two weeks Recruiter called me and scheduled for virtual onsite Interview process.
PS: The days mentioned below are not consecutive. The schedule lasted for a week.
Day 1: Two 1 hour F2F interview. Discussions about work experience and its related technical questions. I was given with a whiteboard programming question.
After these two rounds I received hackerrank challenge for 90mins. It consists of one medium and one hard problems. I was able to solve only one problem at that time.
Day 2: At morning, a one hour F2F with two panelists and it basically had DSA questions and work experience related questions. I was also given 2 programming questions (needs to be executed).
By afternoon, a one hour F2F with hiring manager. Discussions about work experience and behavioral questions. And I was also given a puzzle question.
Day 3: One hour F2F interview, which had mainly system design and performance engineering related questions and also with work experience questions.
Day 4: A 30mins F2F call with Director of the team. We were discussing about few basic work experiences and some general talks about the role and culture. (Basically it seems like they are checking if you're fit for their culture)
After a week I have received the offer proposal and I accepted it happily. Totally it took a month from the day I applied to offer letter and I feel that's really fast and easy process.

Recruiter contacted me through phone. Shared JD and scheduled interview. Somehow JD is not clear. First round was video call interview which went for one ane half hour. At the end result was your skillset didn't match with JD. This should have been checked prior scheduling the interview.
