I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Nov 2009
Interview
Lengthy hiring process. Took over 5 months from start to finish.
Initial screening interview by HR. One-to-One with Hiring Manager. Then a panel presentation where you have to demo their product to senior managers to show you can demo and understand the proposition.
Then final interviews with senior execs.
Offer letter took a while to get.
Once you get there, they have an excellent on-boarding process in place to get you up-to-speed and certified within the first month.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Panel presentation was tough. A lot of pressure and detailed questioning
Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only.
6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed
Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

Apply via Workday, initial recruiter screening via phone call, 1:1 manager interview and introduction, then panel presentation with role play. You'll need to build and present a deck in the final stages.

Question 1
Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
