I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in July 2015
Interview
6 interviews - 2 with HR via phone, 1 with sales manager via phone, 3 in-person.
Interview process was difficult, but I prepared and had the metrics to back it up. Be sure to be prepared. If you don't actually want to be in sales long-term, I wouldn't waste your time. I had a positive interview experience and really liked everyone I spoke with.
