I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Irvine, CA)
It was a very long process - the presentation was a lot of work and required a lot of time and effort. Made it to the very last round and didn't get the job. I asked for feedback and they never provided any.

They invited for a hiring event on Saturday, there were 100 s of candidates waiting in complete jeopardy. I reached there at 10.30, kept on waiting, 1 round happened which was supposed to be the 2nd round at 1.30 pm, that was positive now the 2nd round which was supposed to be coding, started around 4.30 pm, the guy came up with hackerank with a leetcode hard problem on graph, he himself was not clear on the concept so started asking me bogus questions about why I am choosing mst approach and wasted 45 mins, I could see he was not getting the answer from me that was in his screen so he had no clue. Then after 50 mins he asked me if I can code in next 15 mins, he went out and came back in 10 mins and told he is out of time now and finally rejected.
