I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Referred by employee and later got contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview. It was an 1 hour phone interview with online programming. After the phone, they determined that I didn't need a second round interview and go onsite directly. The onsite was set about 1 week later.
