I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dallas, TX) in June 2019
Interview
This interview process included a screening call with a recruiter, call with hiring manager, technical interview, and in-person presentation. I could tell throughout the process that the Salesforce team wanted to help me succeed. From offering resources to prepare to answering any questions, it was refreshing to know that this was the environment that I'd be joining.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When should a sales engineer get involved with the sales cycle?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
Submitted resume through a referral, started the interview process a week and a half later then had 5 grounds of interviews and received the offer. Interview difficulty was not bad, the solution demo was the only part that involved considerable prep.
