Interview
Okay, met with 3 of the Sales reps to pitch them myself then met with another director of Sales as SKIP level. Overall took around 4 hours but was a break in between each person.

Salesforce has a protracted interview process and unprofessional response time for a company that portrays itself as a cutting-edge leader in the software industry. They could use some experience with older hires.

You are a slave to the process for 4 to 6 Months and most likely they hire internally. No feedback on how your interview was rated either.. You can hear the recruiters typing on the keyboard why you are answering Standard stupid questions. They do not like to hire people with a lot of experience think rather hire younger and out of school so there’s some big giant age discrimination going on and I’m sure more..

It was a great experience. I felt very prepared for each stage of the interviewing process. It was a challenging process, but I expected it to be. I had an opportunity to ask questions prior to each stage of the process so I felt ready for each step in the process. Everyone was great during each step of the interviewing process.

There was one phone screen before the on-site interview. The phone screen was super relaxed and the main purpose was to get a full understanding of your background and what you are looking for. The final round was 90 minutes and basically covering what would you do situations.

Pretty straight forward interview process. Call with a recruiter, then on to a hiring manager, then finally onsite for an hour of behavioral questions about sales, your cycle/style of selling, and why salesforce.

Interview
Let me start by saying that Salesforce is not a company that truly cares about real diversity and cultivating it. Mark Benioff talks about increasing diversity and equality within Salesforce but has not made any true advances towards real equality. The culture that Salesforce fosters can be seen through their management and leadership. It definitely shows that they don't care about people of color and that you need to be Asian or White to work there.
You can check out Salesforce Diversity numbers on their website.
I have been networking and speaking to different people at Salesforce for about 11 months now and have not been hired for one position in the company. Even after taking time to pick up a Salesforce certification, being recommended by multiple people from the company for different roles, networking with Salesforce Diversity groups, and being invited as a VIP to a Salesforce Diversity and Inclusion networking event, none of that really mattered. They told me that it's really hard to get in and to keep trying. I even interviewed for an entry level Sales Rep and did not get a call back. Keep in mind that they hire people straight out of college for this position with no experience and I have about 5 years of experience in tech. Apparently I was too technical to do Sales from what I was told by management. That interview felt more like hazing than anything else from the questions they asked.
Even the employees I know from the company say that Salesforce is really lacking diversity, especially within the Sales and Marketing departments. Most of the colored people I know, men, women, and LGBT's, tend to be the only ones on their team and most of the time feel unincluded. I have heard about that from both a social and professional aspect this is happening internally.
Today I will be attending a tech inclusion event at the innovation in the Palace of Fine Arts. The event is sponsored by Google and many of the top tech companies will be there. I heard that Salesforce raised a lot of money for the event but decided that it was not worth attending because the candidates coming today would not be good enough. I also heard that they made changes last minute to have a table there because it didn't look good that they weren't going to show up.
I wanted to work for Salesforce, but I have seen how they treat their current diverse talent and diverse prospects and am not interested so much anymore. If they are looking to leave, I don't think I should be looking to onboard with Salesforce. Everything they say about Ohana and diversity is really just a bunch of nonsense.
I am hoping the arrival of Tony Prophet will change things for the better and turn Salesforce into a place where I still am interested in working at. Hopefully I can meet him today if Salesforce will be attending.

I applied on line and was contacted by a recruiter. It was awful as the recruiter expressed a distaste for me almost immediately. Why was I contacted then? Glad it ended abruptly and I can move on. I was surprised by the superiority and general classless attitude of the recruiter considering the tremendous reviews in the media and Glassdoor. I guess you never know until you do. I'm glad I do now.
