I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jan 2015
Interview
1. Call with HR recruiter - 40 minutes 2. Call with a VP - 30 min 3. In-person interview that also had senior management dialing in via GoToMeeting - 1 hour 4. Presentation - 1 hour
This interview experience was a positive one for me, though I found it mentally challenging, in part due to the pace. The entire process lasted only 10 days from my initial call with HR. Interview questions are asked very quickly, and was difficult for me to read whether senior management approved of my response or not before they moved onto the next question. My sales recruiter was great during the entire process and would help me prep for the next day's interview. He also reviewed my presentation before I presented to management and gave me feedback on how to improve it. I received an offer about 45 minutes after my presentation.

Question 1
-How much of your previous sales success was based on how much your clients liked you?
-The word "driven" is probably the most over-used word by salespeople in describing themselves. What does "drive" mean to you?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Sep 2015
Interview
4 phone calls first with HR, than Senior VP and than the direct manager.
I was asked to prepare an online demo of a marketing system. I thought the demo went well but the interviewer kept finding faults in the way it was presented.... " I would have presented it differently".
The whole session felt like I am being educated by this manager to show he is much better than I am.
