I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Salesforce (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2009
Interview
Was referred by an employee and had 2 initial phone interviews, one with HR and another with the hiring manager. That was followed by 3 1:1 in person interviews with the VP of sales, an account manager and the Sales Engineer Manger all on the same day. Interview with the account manager went smoothly. Went through general questions related to my resume and what I was looking for. VP interview was okay but felt like I was being drilled about why I deserved a shot to be with their company since it was so great. Interview with Sales Engineer Manager went well enough till it got to the technical questions. They wanted me for my CRM experience but I didn't have enough technical experience for their liking so they didn't pursue me further. If it had there would have been a presentation interview in front of a panel a week later.

Question 1
Describe the concept of cloud computing? What are its advantages?
The interview process was thorough and challenging, but ultimately a positive experience. Glenn and Steve were very friendly to talk to. Admittedly the process was longer than I might normally expect, with weeks between communications

Question 1
If you could solve any one problem in the world, what would it be?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was reached out to a few months ago while job searching by a recruiter. I have had a former coworker join SF and heard decent things about the culture and pay. I only had one interview that I cut short as the first question they asked was why I chose to take the interview to which I explained the above. Then they asked me a handful of interrogation questions like what I knew about their culture, how it was different, what were my expectations in salary, but this was done in a rapid fire way and in a very rude manner and framed more hypothetically. I don’t think they actually wanted me to answer, they were trying to test me. I ended the call.
