I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY) in Dec 2019
Interview
The interview process consisted of an introductory meeting with the hiring manager (not typical, usually a phone call), then 3 or 4 phone calls with the team, then I was provided a business case in which you preform a mock discovery. From there, the last round was a demo in front of 10ish people & a few on the phone.
The demo was a bit nerve wrecking but overall wasn't that bad. They look for your presentation skills and how you can handle yourself when faced with difficult questions.
Overall, the process was thorough and pleasant.

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.
