The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2017
Interview
Overall, 9/10. Every interview experience really gets determined by the quality of your recruiter. Great experience inside and out. It was tough, but you want it to be to ensure you're around only the best. On average around 3-4 weeks smoothly, typical interview structure, 3-5 calls with recruiters, hiring managers etc. The difference was, 2 on sites. One more about your background and then a presentation focused on a past deal you've won. There's a bunch of fluff in there above your background and goals etc, but the bread and butter of this is breaking down a deal you've won and bringing to life how you sell. Prepare like crazy for that presentation, I almost botched mine. Luckily I still got the offer but don't underestimate it and go into plenty of details around ROI. Overall it was a professional, productive experience. I've worked and interviewed at several tech vendor companies and they were up there. They need high caliber experienced people so make sure you are ready to go all in. But very satisfied.
Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only.
6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed
Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

Question 1
Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
