I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Oslo) in Sep 2018
Interview
I must have gotten referred by an ex colleague of mine who started with Salesforce a few months back. The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, we had a short call, he asked me to join a 1 hour call where the VP of the Nordics would explain to me why Salesforce is a great place to work. After this very informal and informative call they invited me for a one hour interview. They sent me eight questions up front for which I had to prepare a presentation. This was challenging but a fun exercise. Within half an hour into the interview they interrupted me and sent me out. Five minutes later they asked me back in and said they want me and pretty much put all details on the table. The rest was very uncomplicated formalities and a friendly communication between the recruiter, my new boss and I.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Nov 2018
Interview
The whole process took about 60 days from initial contact with recruiter to an offer. I interviewed with my would be boss a couple times (initial call, then a face to face). Then I had an hour long call with with a director from the solution engineering team to talk about product knowledge, how I would leverage extended sales resources, etc. After that I spoke with two other RVPs, a phone call with my would be AVP and then I met the AVP 1-1. Throughout the process I was in touch with my would be boss and recruiter once a week or so with small updates.
At times I felt like the process was kind of dragging on, but it was really beneficial to get to speak to a lot of different team members. I genuinely felt like they all exemplified the Salesforce “Ohana” mentality and it was clear they are “A” players. That really got me excited knowing I would be working with the best of the best. Once the interview process was over as far as meetings, the call that I had gotten the job happened really quickly which was nice as well. It felt like the Salesforce team did their diligence and once that was done, made the decision. Can’t ask for more than that.
