I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce in May 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening, followed by two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager and team members. The questions focused on sales experience, problem-solving skills, and situational responses. The process was well-organized and communication was prompt throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time when you overcame a challenging sales objection and how you handled it?
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2012
Interview
The interview process was fairly straightforward. The first screening call was with a recruiter. She was very friendly and even prepped me for the next interview to come with the hiring managers. The second interview process was in person. The hiring managers were really nice and their questions were reasonable. Nonetheless, interview prep is definitely required. You need to do some good research on the company. Overall, it took 1 week for the final decision to be made and it was a nice interview experience.

I had several initial conversations with the Human Resources gatekeepers that were all are flawless. Leads to no second interview with their multi step interview process. Would rather talk with AI bot instead.
