Interview
I have never experienced such an organised and efficient interview process as with Salesforce. The recruiter who was managing the all process was Pippa Haggart, which was very helpful and instant available throughout the process. The interview process took around 3 weeks and consisted of screening call with Pippa, followed by 2 different video interviews with different sales managers, the second video interview included 20 minutes presentation about the company solutions. After each stage I received feedback and tips to have a better understanding about my performance.

Question 1
Could you explain how you solved a problem you’ve had in the past using the starr-method.
Ridiculously long final interview for an entry level role. I was asked to take a day off of my annual leave for a 6 hour long assessment day. Required long hours of preparation after my working hours and I was asked to give a presentation on the day. I would not recommend employers dragging through candidates for this long and asking them to use their annual leave if the employers is not even sure about them at this stage. I found out that they were interviewing an other canditate for the same role and they were never meant to hire both us, opposed to what they said in the beginning. Recruiter never contacted me on her own about the outcome of the assessment day. I had to email her two weeks late to find out I did not get the offer.
