      Research Scientist Interview

      Aug 18, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Palo Alto, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Submitted application through the Salesforce career website for AI research position - got contacted for phone screening 16 days after the on-line submission - phone screening was scheduled a week afterwards, me and my interviewer spent 30minutes exchanging research backgrounds - onsite interview scheduled a week afterwards - had 5-6 rounds of interview sessions on site - gave a 30-minute research talk to the entire group before the interview starts, which is the part I enjoyed most - the interviews are a mixture of 1-1 and 2-1 sessions, focusing on my background and problem solving skills in machine learning - great thing about the dense schedule is you will have the chance to talk to a number of team members in depth .

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce

      Interview

      The entire interview process consists of 1 preliminary research experience screen (fit chat?) and an onsite with 4 interviews, covering basic ML knowledge, system design, and simple coding questions. The overall interview process is great and smooth, all the interviewers are very friendly and are very responsible for answering each of my questions.
