I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Well, I had so many interviews with the top companies and this one was one of the best in terms of fairness and interviewers' attitude. One nice thing was that even the directors are hands-on people so it makes absolute sense to discuss an algorithm or design in depth with them. In terms of the feedback promptness, SalesForce is the best. It takes only 1-2 business days for them to come up with the outcome and next stage.
I went through four rounds:
1. Hacker rank (1 easy and 1 medium)
2. Architecture / Distributed systems design
3. Low level design of a generic system
