      BDR Interview

      Jan 10, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Indianapolis, IN
      Accepted offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Indianapolis, IN) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      I studied for nearly 2 WEEKS for my in person interview, learning everything I could about the products I was supposed to know and what information to know about Salesforce. I believe the interview process was very confusing and was not presented to me in a good manner. I was sent a list of questions to study and know in preparation for this interview. By the time I was done filling them out, I had nearly 13 pages worth of material...On top of these questions you have to put a 10 minute presentation together showing your knowledge on these products. I was more than willing to do all of this and came extremely prepared for the interview, however, during the interview I literally was asked maybe 2 questions off the prep sheet I was sent. I first met with 2 people who are currently in the role and was under the assumption that I basically had to interview with them first before I could move onto the panel interview, but they were just there for me to ask them questions about the job, which again was not made clear during the prep. Additionally, I was asked almost 0 questions about what Salesforce is/does and instead was hammered with questions about my current job and me trying to sell myself as to why they should pick me. Again, I had no issues with that, however, I had literally spent 2 weeks on product knowledge and these prep questions and was never asked about virtually any of the material as it relates to Salesforce. At the end of the interview I had asked what next steps were, what to expect etc. One of the last things one of the managers said to me before the in person interview was done was that "Statistically speaking, it is harder to get a job at Salesforce than it is to get into Harvard", which I didn't feel was appropriate or necessary to say. It made me feel like I was just treated like a number and that I wasn't being taken seriously. If you are applying to a company as large or well known as Salesforce, you should already have an idea of how difficult it is to be hired there. I was also told I would hear back within a week at the latest if I had an offer or not and I ended up not hearing back for 27 days. This was extremely nerve racking and hope it was just a lack of internal communication and doesn't happen to someone else! In the end I was offered the position so all of the inconvenience did pay off, but my advice to anyone else who is looking to apply is to not over prepare, make sure you can fully speak to your sales abilities, your metrics at your current job and why they should hire you over someone else.
