I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Pittsburgh, PA) in Aug 2017
Interview
Initial conversation with recruiter, then 2 calls within the week with solution engineer lead and account manager on team . Met with hiring manager in person then traveled to meet VP. In total about 3 weeks. Spoke frequently with the recruiter who prepared me for each call and then provided feedback. All in all very good experience.
