I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I thought the process was smooth and effective.
My HR recruiter was stellar and kept me informed through the entire process. I had two phone interviews with research managers that had an emphasis on describing behavioral and technical situations and how I navigated them. Afterward, I went onsite where I had a portfolio presentation of a collection of previous work and a number of 1:1 interviews.
After my onsite, a couple of weeks went by and I had one last phone call to solidify things. Got my offer shortly after that.

Question 1
Questions specific to research I've done in the past
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Hyderābād) in Feb 2020
Interview
Process was quite smooth with a research challenge, portfolio round followed by multiple rounds of cross functional interviews. Research challenge was quite well prepared and really enjoyed solving it. Recruiter helped prepare for the interview with prep kit email which had info about the company and things to keep in mind (which I felt was a nice touch). Since I was coming from a different city, recruiter were also flexible about the date and provided multiple options.
