I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublín, Dublín) in Jun 2016
Interview
Very comfortable interview process. Great hiring manager and recruiter.
Started with 1-hour phone interview, then came in for a face to face meeting, followed by a panel interview which included a presentation and a product demo, followed by typical interview questions.
The last step was a short 30 min interview with a VP.
My salary expectations were not matched, through negotiations it got closer to my expectations but still not quite there.
I still accepted the offer because I felt good the company culture to be a good fit for me.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015

I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Louisville, CO) in Feb 2015
Interview
Thorough, high degree of courtesy. Series of 7 phone calls led to one in-person interview/mock demonstration, 1.5 hours in duration. Impressive investment in a candidate. LinkedIn profile was cited by the internal HR/recruiter as the reason they reached out re: my potential candidacy for the role. Keep that profile fresh and active!
