      Sales Representative Interview

      Aug 7, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      2 rounds with internal recruiters, and then a final onsite with a current SDR and two of the SDR team managers. First two rounds with the recruiters were very straight-forward, made it sound like the process would move smooth. Final round was less than smooth. The first SDR I was speaking with didn't know my name, and had no questions prepared for me. I felt like I was the one who was facilitating the interview. The second round was just having questions fired at me for 40 minutes, some of which has nothing to do with sales or the job because they want to see how you "handle curveballs." At the end when closing the interviewers I found the hesitations they had quite rude and less about the role overall but instead about me personally. I've heard from other people who interviewed here that the process and interview was quite crass, and I could not agree more. Left a very bad taste in my mouth and walked away feeling extremely put off. Could not wait to get out of the building.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Who is your biggest inspiration? What is the one question you wished we'd asked you? How would you explain Salesforce to someone who didn't know what it is? Why Salesforce?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce in May 2025

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening, followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager and team members. The questions focused on sales experience, problem-solving skills, and situational responses. The process was well-organized and communication was prompt throughout.

      Interview

      I had several initial conversations with the Human Resources gatekeepers that were all are flawless. Leads to no second interview with their multi step interview process. Would rather talk with AI bot instead.

      Interview

      Absolutely amazing. Wanted all of the information without even having to give my exact options in the future. Nothing bothered me in the interview. The intviewer led me down the correct path.
