I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Salesforce (Hyderābād) in Sep 2020
Interview
Not so friendly and very robotic process
Hr doesn't respond inspite of so many follow-ups. Finally, I received a rejection mail
"We discussed your assignment and assessed our applicants, and unfortunately we will not be moving forward with your candidacy for the Staff Technical Writer position at this time. We have decided to pursue candidates whose skills are more closely aligned to the immediate needs of the team."
My only concern here is: was the HR/recruitment team sleeping when they were scanning for candidates? Why did they not think that my skills were not suitable in the first stage! Salesforce, you claim about so many rigorous strategies of selecting candidates -- it's just an eye wash!
You surely need to rework on your strategies.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Bengaluru) in Nov 2023
Interview
There is a written test first. It is followed by 2-3 rounds of interview. The final round was with the director. During the rounds they reiterated that remote work is not allowed.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Buenos Aires) in Dec 2021
Interview
One initial screening, an interview with the international manager, followed by a monitored exercise, and another interview with two team members. Overall, a long and draining process which could’ve been avoided, given that they knew I didn’t have enough experience for the role and wouldn’t have been hired anyway.

Questions regarding technical writing’s best practices, my previous experience, and my writing process.
