I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in May 2017
Interview
Applied through a friend. Initially applied for a different role, but when the location of the job changed during the process, the recruiter was extremely helpful in directing me to this other open position.
This new role was in a completely different department and section, but very, very interesting role - the job description did not do justice to the position and I would not have thought of applying without the help of the recruiter ...
After the initial call with the recruiter got a video call scheduled the following week with the manager and one of the team members. The following week had an online presentation for team member, local Directors and a VP based on specific assignment. Had a call the same week with VP of Sales for region. Got an offer same week and got the contract a few days later.
All in all a very smooth process. High pressure and you need to already be living and breathing Salesforce by the time you have the conversations, but otherwise the interview is really good and not meant to 'trick' you. The recruitment team and managers are extremely good at following up quickly and as promised, which is really reassuring.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Indianapolis, IN) in Mar 2017
Interview
I had an informal discussion introducing the role with a former colleague, then a current CSM. That was followed up by HR, hiring manager, and onsite presentation interview. I didn't get the initial role, but I had enough positive feedback I fortunately landed the role later.

Interview
Interviewed with two members of the recruiting, then spoke with the hiring manager followed by a phone interview with someone in the field followed by a panel interview via web conference. The process was very efficient and the recruiting team did a great job of letting me know the status of the process.
