I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Dec 2021
Interview
There's no coding interview for the team based in Palo Alto. The interviews are highly focused on digging into my past research experience and my future research plans. The interviewers and hiring managers are very friendly and can really spend time knowing about me, rather than screening applicants with code interviews, which, sadly, is the common practice in FAANG.
