      Average Interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Remote, OR (US)) in February 2019.

      Interview

      The interview process was very collegial. I never felt that I was being quizzed or interrogated, but the three in-depth conversations I had with team members were wide-ranging and technical.

      My interlocutors ably drew me out in discussing my abilities and work style, and were very communicative about what Salesforce looks for and what the culture of the organization was like. It was one of the lowest-stress interview processes I've taken part in, which seemed to me to reflect my interviewers' confidence in their ability to understand and assess the people they're considering as potential colleagues without descending to Torquemadean pressures. I was impressed.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Palo Alto, CA (US)) in January 2019.

      Interview

      There was a timed (3hr) coding test on a variety of web skills. These are in fact terrifying but it was really a reasonable time period for the tests. I often run out of time but was able to use most of the last hour to triple check my work.

      This earned me two (bc two teams) in person interviews. One team asked almost completely behavioral and history questions. Every one was professional. Second team asked some backend questions bc they new I wanted to grow in that direction but also asked a lot of behavioral questions bc culture is HUGE here. Got an offer from the second group that also happened to get me VERY excited about their product!

      Interview Questions

      • Again, what I had done in the past and how I handled difficult situations. Keep in mind this is a very mature org and egotists are not usually tolerated. 'Certainly not in my corner of this co!   Answer Question

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Palo Alto, CA (US)) in October 2016.

      Interview

      I applied online through LinkedIn for researcher position, and after 1-2 days get a technical phone interview. The phone interview was properly organized by reviewing my background and research work in PhD. I felt that I did well, and quickly get the onsite interview request the same day. The onsite interview was perfectly organized for a researcher position by presenting my research to the whole team and several one-to-one interviews afterward regarding brainstorming and possible area to work on. I felt really well that this would be a perfect place for me.
      I was right and I was notified that there will be an update quickly and I did get the offer.

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce.

      Interview

      It was the best interview process I have ever had. Apart from HR people being extremely helpful and working in a high pace (it is so rare this days with bigger companies), the interviews went so light regardless of their complexity. To elaborate, after 5 hours interview I was never tired and talked to my interviewer as if we knew each other for years prior. I think one of the best ideas is to have a break right in the middle of a process when you and some other person from the team go for lunch - it really lets you relax and calm a bit.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Hyderabad (India)) in May 2017.

      Interview

      All the rounds were very interactive, interviewers were friendly and they did not treat us like any normal interview candidate. By just having few hours of conversation with different managers i came to know that they treat everyone as equal. I must say Salesforce.com is an employee friendly company. They made candidate so much comfortable with their friendly behavior, i felt like i was discussing some technical issues and my job responsibilities with my seniors (I applied for Technical post).
