Phone screen with recruiter, meeting with the hiring manager, round Robin interviews with team. Everyone is super nice and the questions are fairly straightforward. Luckily they don’t make you do a lengthy assignment like most places do these days. They did end up promoting someone internally, which is kind of annoying because why would you even interview external people until you were sure you weren’t hiring internally.
- Describe a time when something didn’t go according to plan, how did you approach the situation?

Several rounds, combo of behavioral and case style. Case questions were pretty typical but a bit more of a technical flavor. Behavioral were typical behavioral, pretty straightforward. Not a ton of overlap with the team I was interviewing with

Applied and got denied. No feedback at all. Terrible experience for potential employees. This is embarrassing for your org and says a lot about how much you actually care. Don't waste your time applying here.
- None, wasn't worth a phone screen and got NO feedback on why my resume wasn't good enough. I took my time to express interest in your company, but you wasted my time. Thanks

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Dublin, Dublin)
This was one of the worst interview processes I have been through which was a disappointment since I was referred by a Salesforce employee who speaks very highly of the network. I was reached out to by a recruiter following my referral and asked for a quick call to discuss my resume. During this call I was probed with formal competency interview questions without warning or preparation, and it was anything but a call to just discuss my resume. On top of this, the recruiter let me know that they were very far along in the interview process with people who had 'slightly more' experience and they were likely to send an offer in the incoming weeks. I appreciated this transparency, but why interview me then and waste my time by saying this? After this I was invited for an interview with the hiring manager. When I asked for a breakdown of what type of interview this would be (role related, cognitive, etc.) I received a brief one sentence description with no preparation call or much information to go off. Keep in mind I was interviewing for roles in the other big Tech companies in Dublin where a detailed description was provided and an additional preparation call with the recruiter to discuss the information or the process was offered, though I was given enough information that I wouldn't need the call or have questions regarding the interview process. The actual interview went fine, it was your standard interview but not to the caliber you would expect of a company represented by SF. Overall I was deeply disappointed by this process and it would keep me from interviewing for either SF or Tableau in the future.
