I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Sep 2018
Interview
I interviewed for a number of different positions before I finally got a job in the right function. The actual process was great as you could tell they really cared about your WHY (why you want to work there, what drives you as an individual etc) However as soon as I didn't get one role it felt like I was neglected then had to repeat the whole process right from the beginning again for a different team and function within the busienss. I was made promises by certain interviewers which weren't kept, and the recruiters were very slow at responding with feedback. I think overall Salesforce have a good, inivative interview structure in place but the pace of hiring is clearly so fast pace that it can be quite brutal and demoralising for individuals like myself who do not go for the right job first time! My final interview was the best of them all, a lot more personalised and I am happy to say I stuck it out and got there in the end!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would someone who doesn't like you say about you?
I was able to sort of bypass the initial rounds of the interview process thanks to a referral I had received from a former coworker of mine that now works there.
When I walked into the final-round conference room, I recognized one of the interviewers as someone I borrowed money from 2 years ago.
I have no intention of paying that person back so I turned around and left the room without saying a word.
The first two interviews were smooth but the last interview in-person was something else. The interviewer barely looked at me, which kind of threw me off. I did like the fact they offer a guideline of what to expect during the in person interview
Initial call with the recruiter went great. Received great feedback and was told that they would be moving quickly. Sent a follow up email only to be ghosted. No rejection email 2 months later, no reply nothing. I'm sure they are interviewing a lot of candidates daily but do better!
