Salesforce.com Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Two interviews. One is with the recruiter and the follow-up is with two EBR managers. The recruiting questions are much more general about salesforce and why the role is of interest. The second is much more detailed with questions about the role itself and going through all of your past experiences.

Interview Details – Got a referell

Reason for Declining – Felt like I was taking a step back, the job is lead gen

Interview Details – Submitted resume online (since I didn't see the campus recruiter on the campus career fair) and get an email about one month later. Scheduled a first phone interview with a LMTS of quality engineer. The interview is scheduled for 45 mins but actually last for only 30 mins. Discussed some question on my past experience from resume and one simple array processing coding question. Then I was ask to do some test on the code. Get another email that evening and scheduled a second phone interview which is one week later. The second interview is with the manager of the team I'm going to work for. It last for full 45 mins, discuss about one of my past project and especially focused on how I find problems and test it. Then a classic brainstorm question was asked. Get a offer that evening from a recruiter's phone call. The recruiter team from salesforce is very helpful during the entire process.

Reason for Declining – I don't know why I applied QA, because I'm more interest in being a developer. So I accepted another developer position from another company. If this is a developer position from Salesforce, I might consider it.

Interview Details – Phone Interview with recruiter- very standard questions, but make sure you know as much about salesforce's products (not just CRM) as possible

In person interview in SF- Nice offices but kind of static. It isn't culty like other people have said on glassdoor, but It seemed very corporate (quiet, not a lot of smiles, everyone typing away).

First an interview with a sales rep- very friendly girl. Not that bright but friendy

Then a panel interview with sales managers. Make sure you know the products inside and out, and make sure you can show that you are fine making a ton of calls a day and doing just that, developing leads and nothing more.

Interview Details – The hiring process was extremely slow. It took roughly 2 months to get everything together for the process. I went through two different presentations as well as an onsite negotiation and account review session. Although slow, the process was extremely rewarding, allowing me to learn a lot about the company

Negotiation Details – Went back and forth with hiring HR person and VPs. It wasn't difficult, although, I got a pretty low-ball offer to begin with. They met me half way from the competition. It is not the base pay I was concerned about, it was the accounts I wanted to ensure I honed in on. That was a bit less specific but I got some assurance with other offerings as part of the offer.

Interview Details – Applied for a position in their San Francisco office. After two rounds of phone interviews, they flew me out to SF. I though their HR office was decent in arranging my travel, they provided hotel and flight and a small reimbursement for incidentals.

The interview itself was a bit of a letdown. I talked with 6 people or so, two of which were general chit-chat, with them telling me about how great of a company they are, and how they have this amazing Java architecture and database layer which somehow has become completely bogged down in overengineered complexity.

I didn't get the job, probably because I bombed on one whiteboard question with one interviewer. The question was one of those obnoxious algorithm questions which could be answered in 30 seconds with Wikipedia, but if you don't have memorized already you are hosed. Instead of moving on to another question, the interviewer decided to hound me for twenty minutes about the one question.

Thanks, but no thanks. Enjoy fixing your crap architecture yourselves.

Interview Details – Contacted a VP who referred me to recruiter. Very courteous. Two recruiters later, they indicated possible further interest (phone only). Shortly, in response to my timing needs they scheduled a group presentation and interview with four execs. One on Skype, three in room. 30 minute interview in Spanish, same for my 30 minute presentation: Setup -2 min.,
Discovery - 13 Min., Slide Presentation -13 Min., Close -2 Min. Went pretty well.

Interview Details – Contacted via a internal contact. Phone screen with Hiring manger on basic interview and technical questions followed by a two hour programming test. Passed with flying colors and was invited to San Francisco to interview with 10+ people. Some interviewers were in town, some were remote so we had conference calls. Overall, it was your typical tech interview.

Negotiation Details – Met my expectations so did not negotiate..

Interview Details – very standard process, the only difference is there is a coding interview of 2 hours and it is decent. Not of the level of interviewstreet, it is much simple than that.

Nothing very simple questions on Java, couple of them on data structures and algos. One interview is full on UI even if you never worked on it, they will expect it. One of SQL and database

Negotiation Details – did not negotiate. you should negotiate very hard. increaments sucks here if you want to take the job make sure your salary is good for next 2 yrs
