Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2018
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn initially - however, since the headcount moved to Toronto - it was put on hold. Once another role in Atlanta opened up about 1 month later, she highly recommended me to that recruiter. I spoke to the new recruiter 1st, she then scheduled a phone screen with a Senior Recruiter later that week, then interviews with 5 additional people the following week (3 Recruiters, 2 Hiring Managers) back to back via hangouts video.
Every conversation was like talking to old friends - everyone was extremely friendly, fun to chat with - and not nearly as grueling as 5 back to back (30min) interviews sound!
The recruiter was awesome with keeping me in the loop throughout the process. After the final interview(s) - it took 2 weeks to get an offer - which felt like FOREVER - but was happy to finally receive it! :-)
1 Phone Screen, 3 Video Interviews. Collectively the team wanted to know more detail about my work history other than what was on my resume. Follow up after each interview was within 24 hours which was refreshing.
