Salesforce Account Executive interview questions

Phone screen with recruiter (Salesforce internal), 30 min interview with hiring manager, 30 min interview with hiring manager peer, 30 min interview with VP of business and finally a panel with all three previous interviewers based on a set of questions (7 days to prepare).

The interview was set for 30 minutes. It was a complete waste of time. I applied for a role I was more qualified for and then referred to another role(which I had no background in)to interview for. Salesforce is a social impact company, they have to remain compliant so they will interview you even if you do not fit the role. I may have satisfied a diversity requirement because I am considered to be a minority. The hiring manager didn't even look at my resume. If you don't think you qualify for the role fully, they may be just using you to fulfill their compliance requirements for interviewing. The recruiter created a sense of urgency and appeared to care about getting me an interview. She made promises of helping me find a role that may fit before my interview. After the interview she ghosted me. I actually took the time to prepare for the interview and learning about the products. They recommend you reach out to existing employees to ask them about the role, but they all ignore you as well, probably because they know the company will waste your time. Do a thorough assessment of your background, if you don't have background, they are wasting your time. Pass on the interview.
