I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
I was an employee referral and was contacted quickly by HR. I had 6 phone interviews with mgmt and their employees over the course of 2 weeks. The last step was an onsite demo/presentation to a panel (some were remote) based on a mock case study. I had a wonderful experience and even though some of it was difficult, everyone was easygoing and pleasant to talk to. The hardest questions came from the hiring manager and his boss.
This is an amazing company and it's worth pursuing hard.

Question 1
You need to have experience with value or consultative selling instead of feature/function pushing. You probably shouldn't interview for the job if you don't have experience selling to the C-suite or can't have a ROI conversation.
The interview process was thorough and challenging, but ultimately a positive experience. Glenn and Steve were very friendly to talk to. Admittedly the process was longer than I might normally expect, with weeks between communications

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was reached out to a few months ago while job searching by a recruiter. I have had a former coworker join SF and heard decent things about the culture and pay. I only had one interview that I cut short as the first question they asked was why I chose to take the interview to which I explained the above. Then they asked me a handful of interrogation questions like what I knew about their culture, how it was different, what were my expectations in salary, but this was done in a rapid fire way and in a very rude manner and framed more hypothetically. I don’t think they actually wanted me to answer, they were trying to test me. I ended the call.
