I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied through a referral and was contacted a week later to set up a phone interview. During the phone interview with the hiring manager, we talked for 30 minutes about my resume and some projects that I have worked on and I got to ask him some questions. Make sure you are ready to talk about anything and everything on your resume.
Next step was a 30 min technical interview with a developer. We used Google Meet and I was asked to code on a shared document. Know basic data structures and algorithms and how to analyze runtime. Practice using leetcode easy/medium. After the technical interview, I got to talk to the developer about some of the stuff he was working on and he answered some questions I had about the position. I was contacted through email later that week with an offer.
The recruiter and everyone involved in the interview process for me were very quick about getting back to me. Overall, a very positive experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard leetcode easy/medium. Have knowledge of basic data structures and algorithms.
I got an home assessment, managed through the Hackerrank system.
It had 3 Leetcode questions, one was pretty simple and the second was harder. Needed to be with my camera on the whole session, and full screen. They gave 60 minutes to the whole session - means the two questions
Waiting for next steps.
