I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2020
Interview
Multiple calls before finally talking with someone. Ended up coming into meet with the sales lead for a role that was different than what i talked about over the phone. Very disconnected.

Question 1
Why do you want to work here, what is your historical performance.
Another bad experience interviewing at Salesforce. After four interviews (first with recruiter, second with hiring manager, third with VP of Sales and the last a panel simulating a customer conversation), receiving an excelent feedback on each step of the process, they gave me a final feedback (after I look for them asking for this feedback) saying that they decided to move forward with another candidate. I know that there are tons of excelent professionals, but I just would like a better feedback saying why they have chosen this other candidate, so I could better prepare for future interviews. I feel like a waste of time (preparing for lots of interviews, study the business case for the roleplay, prepare the presentation for the roleplay) for, in the end, just receive a standard feedback that they have chosen another person. It is frustrating and lack of empathy by Salesforce side. It is a company I admire but they are not fair with their interview process.

Question 1
why a customer should choose Salesforce versus other CRM or BI platforms?
Excellent and straightforward process. The recruiter sends lots of prep docs to study and provides you with a deck for the final panel interview. In saying that, lots of prep is needed in order to excel.

Walk me through a deal cycle. How do you forecast?
