I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY) in Dec 2021
Interview
30 minute phone screening with the recruiter, meeting with the hiring manager, then a simulation of a client engagement (client discovery call + the delivery of a basic demo).
Remember, as an SE, you are being evaluated on your ability to uncover technical challenges, not necessary on your technical know-how. Focus on asking relevant questions and learning!
Review the current public objectives of Salesforce and do lots of reflection on your sales experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me multiple times, and when I finally took the call, it turned out to be a standard placement conversation as they’re currently hiring SEs across several teams. After a 30 minute screening, during which I clearly stated my location, the recruiter informed me that all new SE hires are required to follow a mandatory hybrid in-office schedule. Despite knowing I don’t live near a major office, they said I would need to relocate before proceeding with the interview process. Never heard back after the first meeting.
Submitted resume through a referral, started the interview process a week and a half later then had 5 grounds of interviews and received the offer. Interview difficulty was not bad, the solution demo was the only part that involved considerable prep.
