Two initial phone interviews followed by an in-person interview by a panel. The in-person was out of state and they paid for that trip. It was an abbreviated process, but went well. Role was in its infancy so there was not a lot of detail.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Jan 2017
Interview
Initial phase 6mths: Lots of one to one meetings with various people looking for fit and experience alignment with a new need. Final phase once specific opportunity identified 2mths: 1 hr interview with hiring manager followed by panel of 4 interview and presentation. Each interview a mixture of fit and specifics to job area. Sense that both parts equally important.
