I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
I applied around 5 months ago and I applied for multiple locations. The process was a bit long. It took me 2 months when a recruiter from another state gave me a coding challenge. Then after that a month of waiting they sent me an email that they decided not to move forward on me. And a lot of declined emails from another cities came along.
But after a few days later another recruiter from SF reached out to me to set up a phone interview. That took a week and finally I got set up for a phone interview.
The phone interview was very technical and less behavioral. Definitely know your OOP and Data Structures and the definitions.
After the phone interview, with no less than 2 or 3 hours I got an email that I'm moving to the next round, which is a video conference call. This is more about tell me about yourself and what I'm interested in doing on and what projects that I did that I'm mostlu proud of. Then after that, the interviewer asked me if I have any questions.
Overall the process was a little long when but very responsive and fulfilling.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I gave my resume during Job Fair, and 2 weeks later, I got an email (link) to solve programming question. There are 2 questions, and I was given an hour. The question was not hard, very basic, but you need to use any kind of algorithm to clear time limit.
I used 2 for loops, and only 20 out of 30 tests were passed for both questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Oct 2018
Interview
I submitted my resume at a university career fair. After a week I received an online coding challenge on Hackerrank. After 2 weeks I was contacted by a recruiter for an interview. The interview was taken by an engineer on Google Meet. There was hardly any coding question asked in the interview. There were behavioral questions plus some questions on operating systems, computer networks. Just one short question on Data Structures, that's it. The engineer was interviewing specifically for his team. Didn't talk anything about the skills I have mentioned all over my resume.
