I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Lagos) in Feb 2023
Interview
I got a very warm call from the recruiter whose role, to my surprise, was to help me scale the interview process. I received tips, advise, and resources to help me prepare. The call with the hiring manager and the panel interview that followed were more formal. All, the same everyone was willing to help me succeed. It was a different experience from what I am used to.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Salesforce? How would you prioritize your pipeline?
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
