Salesforce Senior Solution Engineer interview questions

There were a series of short interviews leading up to a panel interview, which was a presentation & demo in role. The panel is challenging and you will be pushed, but the team goes out of its way to help you prepare and make sure you're ready to do your best. A mentor is assigned to help you throughout the way, and the process was very positive and rewarding.

The interview process was 3 phone calls and 1 in-person demonstration of the Service Cloud product to a panel of directors. The 1st phone conversation with Salesforce's senior recruiter. We spoke about my resume, why I'm looking at a new opportunity in my career, and details about the position. The 2nd interview was with my soon to be manager. We spoke about the same details again, but focused a little more on my skills as a sales engineer. The 3rd interview was with a senior director in my department. Again, it was almost the same conversation as the 2nd phone call. Finally, they decided to call me into their Chicago office to do a live demo of the Service Cloud product using a case study that was provided. This would have been very challenging, if it were not for my 4 years of working as sales engineer at a startup company. It is timed for about 1 hour and you have to prepare around 10 mins for introductions, 40 mins of product demo, and 10 mins of Q&A. However, they interrupt your flow to see how you respond to role play situations. Due to my experience in sales engineering, I was able to handle this very well.
