I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Mar 2020
Interview
Very clear expectations from the beginning. I was assigned a mentor to guide me through the process and she was incredibly helpful. The process included coffee chats followed by a super-day (panel) with role-playing. I had 2 weeks to prepare for the panel. I was given a business case and had to prepare a powerpoint and a demonstration over 2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Lots of role playing questions, i.e. from the perspective of leadership at a fictitious company. Examples: how will this increase my revenue, what about the cost, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
Submitted resume through a referral, started the interview process a week and a half later then had 5 grounds of interviews and received the offer. Interview difficulty was not bad, the solution demo was the only part that involved considerable prep.
