Interview

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you prepare before reaching out to a prospect?
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublín, Dublín) in Feb 2026
Interview
Processus de recrutement très impersonnel et excessivement formaté.
On a clairement l’impression qu’il faut apprendre à répondre “comme il faut” plutôt que d’être soi-même. Les échanges ressemblent plus à un exercice scolaire qu’à une vraie discussion.
Certaines questions donnent même le sentiment d’être piégeuses, ce qui rend l’expérience assez inconfortable et peu représentative d’un environnement de travail sain.
Très décevant sur l’aspect humain.

Tell me about a time you disagreed with your manager
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2026
Interview
Panel interview with current Business development managers. Recruiter provided some really helpful tips prior to the interview. I spoke with some current BDRs there which helped show preparation and reachout skills.
