I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Sydney) in Aug 2018
Interview
1. Phone screen with recruiter. Pretty straightforward - focus on your current role and KPI's
2. On-site group interview. Sales case study
3. Interview with 2 managers + peer interview (basically just to see if you are a good cultural fit on the team)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Salesforce? What are your current KPI's? Why tech sales? What would your current manager say about you? How can you apply the skills from your past experiences to Salesforce? Mock cold call - use this to showcase your product knowledge. What are 3 areas you can improve on? How did you prepare for this interview? Tell us one thing that's not on your resume. What is your guilty pleasure?
The interview process included a 30 - minute phone screen with HR, a 1 - hour interview with the hiring manager focusing on sales experience and CRM knowledge, and a final role - play exercise simulating a cold call to a prospect.

Great experience during 3 sets of challenging interviews. Firstly with the recruiter (30 min call), and then 2 sets of interviews with your hiring manager and with an additional person from the company. Very responsive and quick process as well with hiring manager and with recruiter too.
