I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Irvine, CA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Recruiter and hiring managers were very professional and had high expectations for the perfect fit.
Phone interview with the recruiter
Scheduled an in-person coffee meet & greet with the hiring manager (within a few days)
Scheduled a panel interview with hiring manager + 2 other managers (within a few days)
Scheduled a final presentation interview with hiring managers + 2 other managers + VP (within 2 weeks)
I get the feeling that if they like you, they will move the process along very quickly. They are very transparent and communicative throughout the entire process. They provide enough help to make sure you are well prepared for all stages of the interview process.
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
