I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2016
Interview
I was told there normally is a pre-screening interview, but since I went to a recruiting mixer, I skipped that step.
The final interview consists of three, one-hour long interviews given by two employees at a time. I met with a Product Manager, Director of Engineering, a few people who will become direct reports, Software Engineering Manager.
After the interviews I took a tour of the floor I would be on and was escorted to the elevator lobby.
All the interviewers came prepared with my resume and questions that they had for me.
Later that day I was contacted by the recruiter.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
I cleared the first round of online web based interview, and then had in-person interview in Indiana with 4 different interviewers. The interview was not difficult and looked to be average questions getting to know about me and past experience, and about them.

Question 1
Which part of the country did i study from, and where I am from in the middle of the interview? (To give a background, I saw one Asian interviewing me. I am also an Asian. I am from southern part of an Asian country, and I could clearly make out he is from the northern part of an Asian country due to his stronger accent. He was trying to find out about me in the middle of the interview. It was a clear discrimination from then on, he was only trying to find out only flaws). There is no reason to ask these kind of questions to a candidate, and it is important to focus on the talent an individual brings. It's a shame these kind of candidates make to the interviewers list.
I must say this is the best interview process I have ever gone through and starting from the recruiter Daniel to the hiring team everyone is so great and give you a great experience.They make you feel already a part of their ohana and take care of each detail of the process so nicely that you get to know that salesforce is a awesome place to work.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Portland, OR) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview process went a lot faster than I expected. The folks I spoke with were kind, smart, and passionate about what they do.
The whole process took a little over 3 weeks, but there was a week where the team was off for an on-site.
My experience with the recruiting team is also top-notch, they were prompt in responding to questions and interview scheduling.
