I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Indianapolis, IN) in Feb 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a SF recruiter for a job opening in my territory. After initial screening call with the recruiter, I proceeded to have 30-45 minute Interviews with 3 RVP of Sales, 1 Sales Manager, and 1 Technical Director. These interviews all happened over the course of about 4 weeks and concluded with a virtual, online presentation to a group of 5-6 hiring managers. After positive feedback after every interview and a very successful team interview, I was told the position was no longer available even though they wanted to make and offer. I am currently awaiting to hear from SF if their most recent re-org will allow for them to hire this position. It was frustrating because SF initiated the conversation with me and I spent considerable time preparing for interviews and a final group presentation, only to be told that I was the best candidate but they couldn't offer me the position due to a re-organization.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
Interview process took approximately 2 weeks (1 phone screening, 1 face-face meeting with Account Executives, and 1 final phone meeting with VP). Throughout the process, the Sales recruiting team did a great job updating me, although slow at times due to OOO / PTO.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Salesforce (Madrid) in May 2018

I had two interviews. First with Human Resources, second interviewer was an Account Executive. I highly recommend to explore into Salesforce products. Being able to explain why sales rather than any other department it is also important.
