I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Round one consisted of a one hour mock planning session. The candidate played the PGM role, while 6 or 7 interviewers played mock roles with "personalities". Some preparation was needed before the session, but nothing extensive. The candidate is observed while executing the planning session and handling the various mock personalities of the team.
Strong leadership in a group setting along with good organization and thinking on your feet will likely help the candidate succeed. However, this session provides little opportunity to question the interviewers about the job, company, etc., something that would presumably come in round 2. I didn't get to round 2.

Typical set up. Meet with Recruiter, hiring manager and then 2 more rounds (one with panel). Very quick turn around. Discussed examples of situations. Thought provoking questions, good conversation about the role and Salesforce culture.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you dealt with stakeholders with competing priorities.
Painfully slow and confusing. I didn't know what the next steps were or what to expect. I expected better from Benioff's team and was disappointed in the results. I just wish someone would have followed up with me afterwards. Got automated emails and did not reply to them.

Interview
The interview process was very well structured. Interviewers were warm & inviting. Each interviewer seemed to be prepared & had done their homework about my background/experience. They shared personal experiences on working at Salesforce and how they had adapted to WFH during Covid
