I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2018
Interview
Process was very pleasant and fast. Communication was excellent with the recruiter. I first had a phone interview with my recruiter, before having a video interview with the hiring manager. I felt that this interview was poorly conducted, with little engagement from the manager. I felt he did not listen to my answers to the questions. I believe that he had already decided that I was unsuitable for the job. This was frustrating and I felt like I had wasted my time.
Perhaps there should be more communication between the managers and the recruiters so that they know who they are looking for.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Could you explain how you solved a problem you’ve had in the past using the starr-method.
Ridiculously long final interview for an entry level role. I was asked to take a day off of my annual leave for a 6 hour long assessment day. Required long hours of preparation after my working hours and I was asked to give a presentation on the day. I would not recommend employers dragging through candidates for this long and asking them to use their annual leave if the employers is not even sure about them at this stage. I found out that they were interviewing an other canditate for the same role and they were never meant to hire both us, opposed to what they said in the beginning. Recruiter never contacted me on her own about the outcome of the assessment day. I had to email her two weeks late to find out I did not get the offer.
