I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Sydney) in Jul 2022
Interview
Interview process is lethargic and outdated.
Day 1: Got a call from recruiter after a week since applying in portal.
Day 4: First round of recruiter screening
Day 15: First round of technical interview by senior architect - professionally done.
Took a email and couple of calls for HR to respond on the status.
Day 28: Second round of interview - Technical in depth by hiring manager and senior architect.
Day 31 : Panel presentation - Hiring manager and senior architect took this for 1.5 hours (originally scheduled for 1 hour) and asked to give another take on the technical demo.
Day 45: Round 2 of panel presentation - Again in depth demo and checks for 1.5 hours.
Ghosting by recruiter, upon calls she says it was very positive presentations and demo.
Day 63: I see the status as No longer in consideration in portal.
Interview was done for Mulesoft Technical architect.
Although I do not have mulesoft background, they gave the tips and feedbacks to proceed. I had put a month long effort to grasp as much as possible and gave a professional demo. All interviews went well, but seems they wanted ages of experience in Mulesoft tool in the end.
Please do not apply if you are not an expert in Mulesoft.
I was half hearted to proceed after first demo, hiring manager was indecisive.
Some of the recruiters were good but ghosting happens once interviews are over.

Question 1
How is Salesforce's business model different from other SaaS vendors?
Three rounds with consulting, technical and final presentation. Forty minutes to one hour each interview round. Not too difficult with the good architectural knowledge. Focused more on salesforce products. Good candidate experience provided by the recruiters.
