I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Sydney)
Interview
Extended process going through several interviews by phone and then face to face.
Standard process can take as many as 7 interviews during which you will not know if they are keen on you or not.
Final interview is a Scripted scenario in which you are expected to present from a deck of 80 slides, and if in pre-sales you will also need to demo the product.
Key to this process is to read the instructions!
The goal of this role-play session is to get a next meeting with the role-play client. Grab any/every chance to get the next meeting even if it means dropping your slides and goign straight for closing questions.
The interview process was thorough and challenging, but ultimately a positive experience. Glenn and Steve were very friendly to talk to. Admittedly the process was longer than I might normally expect, with weeks between communications

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was reached out to a few months ago while job searching by a recruiter. I have had a former coworker join SF and heard decent things about the culture and pay. I only had one interview that I cut short as the first question they asked was why I chose to take the interview to which I explained the above. Then they asked me a handful of interrogation questions like what I knew about their culture, how it was different, what were my expectations in salary, but this was done in a rapid fire way and in a very rude manner and framed more hypothetically. I don’t think they actually wanted me to answer, they were trying to test me. I ended the call.
