I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
Unpleasant experience. All interview processing is informal and recruiter is not responding. I've got phone calls from their recruiters a couple of times. They walked through with me about compensation and initiate with a phone call with hiring manager. Some very basic technical questions, and they sent me a code assignment and I did it. Then once I got on site interview, all process looked good except no body came back and said result. After I reached out the recruiter that he sent back an email said they're very impressed by me but they lost headcount. The second time is almost same, except they asked me do code assignment and never came back again. Then I did the same thing ask again and after two weeks they reply with although they're very impressed by my background but they want to move to other candidates. I guess I should never try this company again since they're so bad at recruitment also I can see how mess up it can be if you go interview like this kind of company, it will waste too much time, not mentioning you may spend whole day onsite for nothing
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had two phone screens and one online technical assessment before I attended my onsite interview. The onsite interview consisted 3 rounds technical interviews and 1 round with hiring manager about behavior questions. The overall interview was pretty good to me. They see how you talk, how to tackle questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions are widely from Front-end, such as html, css and js, to Back-end, such as oo design, SQL, Java language. Also, Salesforce also wants developers have a mindset of testing. Therefore, keep some basic testing knowledge as well.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
Only one phone interview. Interviewer was very laid back and only asked simple CS questions that went over the bare essentials of what any CS major would learn after freshman year. Had a great conversation about software testing and how a lot of companies don't bother with it. Looked over projects on my Github very deeply and talked about why I chose certain projects.
