Interview process was straight forward. I was paired with a mentor who is an SE at Salesforce to help prepare a panel presentation. You meet 2-3 times before going through full dry runs to practice your presentation. At the panel presentation, there are 3-4 people you're presenting to ranging from Directors and Managers to field SEs.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did you spend a lot of time branding this yourself because it looks sharp?
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview process was pretty long - 3 months due to scheduling conflicts. Had 6 rounds in total.
1) recruiter screening
2) hiring manager
3) peer from the SE team
4) sales director
5) panel presentation
6) VP of SE
The panel presentation is based on a case study which you will have 1 week to prepare for. It was intense but I enjoyed the preparing for it. It was a good experience to have a peek into what the role would be like.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
The process was very selective and challenging. At the same time, the Salesforce staff and interviewers did everything possible to put me at ease as a candidate. Overall, glad that the vetting was so thorough.
