      Account Executive Interview

      Jan 28, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn regarding a sales opportunity with Salesforce. I was excited to hear from the recruiter and initially the recruiter was very informative, transparent and helpful throughout the process. I was pretty happy in my current role at the time but was definitely interested in pursuing a potential opportunity with Salesforce, should it be the right fit. After my initial 2 phone interviews they brought me in to have an in-person interview. I felt as though the interview went pretty well, although the 3 Managers interviewing me were somewhat arrogant throughout the 2 hour interview. After the interview was complete, they indicated that they were in the process of interviewing many candidates however they would be in touch regarding next steps. After 3 separate follow up emails to the individual Managers and 3 follow up emails to the recruiter, I heard zero response. This was absolutely surprising to me given the Salesforce 'Ohana' culture they preach, I did not expect for no one to have the decency to even follow up with me after the interview, especially since they were the ones that initially reached out to me. I thought Salesforce was better than this. This was a huge turnoff to me as a candidate, it is the little things in the interview process that go an extremely long way and even if the right opportunity came along for me in the future, I would not consider interviewing again.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. I make it a point to regularly look into these reviews and communicate any areas of concern back to my recruiting leadership team. It's disappointing to learn that you received no response or closure after multiple attempts to follow up. I can assure you that this is not common practice for us here at Salesforce. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to reeducate our teams on the importance of communicating updates and feedback throughout the interview process. - Ana Recio, SVP of Global Recruiting

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Salesforce

      Interview

      Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only. 6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY)

      Interview

      pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
