      Director Technical Solutions Architecture Interview

      24 Oct 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Oct 2012

      Interview

      Totally unenjoyable and unrealistic process. Approached via social media due to outstanding profile and skills match. Asked to do loads of prep work for a mock presentation. Asked to learn their products in a few weeks so as to present these back to them. Technical knowledge of their products before process - ZERO Technical knowledge of their products at the mock presentation - slightly below ZERO Advised prior to mock presentation a general understanding of products was needed only - "high level" is the words used. Feedback on process - not enough knowledge of the products. Clearly, interviewers didn't take the time to read the CV or other social media info on the profile. Process setup to make failure more likely rather than highlight weaknesses and identify how to bolster those. Told 'after the fact' that a 'turnkey person' was needed - translation - we want a salesforce guru. So why approach someone without a salesforce background only to let the fail ?

      Question 1

      Dumb question - why do you want the job ?
