I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Aug 2018
Interview
A very efficient, in depth interview process.
I applied for Salesforce through a friend referral and instantly jumped on a call with the recruitment team. After a 30 minute call I was then referred to the next interview which was an initial meeting with two vps. I subsequently had a presentation interview and a following 2 interviews with more senior managers.
This was followed by a phone call with another senior manager to finally seal the deal.
Salesforce are keen to make sure you get the best fitting job for your skill set and so have you interview with numerous managers to find the best match.
I interviewed over a 6 week time period, however I think my particular interview process was a little longer than usual as I interviewed over the children’s holiday season but they expect the process to take around 2 to 4 weeks in general.
Overall a great recruitment process.

Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only.
6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed
Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
