Question 1
How would you explain the value of Salesforce’s Sales Cloud to a prospect who is using a competitor’s CRM?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
This was the toughest interview I've ever had. Although I give them credit for truly finding the best candidate, it was an interrogation. There was no conversation, no small talk and no sense of humor. They were trying to trick me with questions. I've always looked at Salesforce as my dream company. I researched and networked as much as I possibly could to get there. After this interview, I was extremely defeated.

Interview
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.
