I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Dec 2018
Interview
I was contacted by a Sales director that explained to me the opportunity and the panel process. Then, I had to present a business case and a demo for a fictitious company explaining how Salesforce could help them to improve their business on a panel session with 6 Salesforce employees playing the role of C level executives. Then I had 2 other interviews with BR Salesforce VP of Sales and VP Pre Sales, and a meeting with Salesforce HR where the proposal and benefits were covered.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some of the screens you have presented on your panel look pretty similar to what Microsoft Dynamics has shown us for a cheaper price. How do you compare both solutions?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
Submitted resume through a referral, started the interview process a week and a half later then had 5 grounds of interviews and received the offer. Interview difficulty was not bad, the solution demo was the only part that involved considerable prep.
