The application was straightforward 3 steps in total one with the recuirter, HM interview and a panel. The panel was quite challenging. I felt like i walked into a cold room immediately.
Easy interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jul 2024
Interview
Recruiter screening call, Hiring Manager Call, Director of SE call, then was supposed to move to panel/final demo round where you demo Sales Cloud, but they went into a hiring freeze. A lot of confusion around this and not much communication from recruiters. They had no idea when the hiring freeze would be lifted. Manager communicated that it was up to me if I wanted to deliver the panel presentation and that they wouldn't be able to extend an offer either way immediately, it might take months. Very frustrating situation. Anyway, I did the panel regardless, and then didn't hear anything for 2 months. Then I got an automated rejection email in November. Next day, another recruiter reached out to me saying they had a new SE position for Agentforce. So I interviewed again, then talked to the HM. HM said she wasn't planning to make a decision till end of January on hiring. Horrible waste of time. Very disrespectful to candidates. The jerking around is downright unethical.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Milán)
