Very streamlined process. Everything was like clockwork and the communication was continuous throughout the process. I was recommended by a friend/ex co worker who is at SFDC now. I believe this helps as > 50% of hires are employee referrals. The process consisted of one informal onsite meeting with a PA, a recruiter phone screen, one technical screen, one consulting skills screen and a final case study of a project that consisted of various architects and directors (I believe 5 total) who listened to my presentation intently and asked questions throughout. Turns out the technical interview and the consulting interviews were quite enjoyable. Great questions and the interviewers were fully engaged. I prepped for the case study but in retrospect would have shortened it and not went so deep technically. Very intelligent group that asked thoughtful question and provided valuable feedback throughout the presentation. If you interview with Salesforce for this type of technical role, my advice is to be very prepared. I'm an ex Microsoft employee who shifted ecosystems and have been working on the platform for around 8 years in various roles from developer to architect. I turned down an Amazon gig and had longer term sites on SFDC. The reasons were because people I know there are very happy and two I've spent a large part of my professional career learning and working on their platform. Add to that a huge amount of respect for the CEO and it just made sense to go for it. The interview process only reinforced that I was making the right choice. I've cleared all the new architect exams that lead up to applying to the CTA . If you have those exams or at least an understanding all of the areas of expertise in the domains and a solid background consulting then you are probably ready to take a shot at interviewing at Salesforce for this type of role. Otherwise, take the time to learn the platform and maybe you will be #Ohana @ Salesforce.

This was the second time i went through the proces and I have to say, this is a very inefficiënt proces. The first round is a first check by the recruiter. The second and third round was a consulting interview and the fourth round is the panel interview. Oh yeah and if your lucky you would also have a fifth round.. it took about 1,5 month. What i don’t like about the proces, is the inconsistency, and no transparancy. E.g. If they would like you to succeed in the proces, they will assign you someone from the team who would walk you through the expectations of the panel interview. In my case it didn’t happen. Even after a request by mail. “ no answer” from the hiring manager or recruiter and no explanation why in my case it was not possible. If you have a good round you will have a immediately a call back from the recruiter. If you have a bad round, they will threat you like garbage (You will hear nothing anymore) Not living up to the values they pretend to maintain.
