I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Apr 2016
Interview
I spoke to 2 Recruiters and had a video interview with the RVP (Hiring Manager) for the role. The feedback I got was extremely positive. I was told I had the account management experience they were looking for, was articulate and they would be in touch in a couple of days. But then went silent. No responses to multi follow up emails, no follow through and no feedback as to why I did not move forward in the process. Per the RVP the role was a key initiative from their CEO so I am surprised by the lack of response.
The candidate experience and focus is definitely lacking and is not what you would expect from a cutting edge company who makes the best companies to work for list. .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you handle a tough client? What frustrates you the most? Why do you want to work for SFDC?
Thank you for your feedback. I make it a point to look into these reviews and communicate any areas of concern back to my recruiting leadership team. It's disappointing to hear that no one responded to you after completing a video interview with the RVP, and I understand how frustrating that must be. I can assure you that this is not common practice for us here at Salesforce. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to reeducate our teams on the importance of communicating updates and feedback throughout the interview process. Improving the candidate experience is firmly on our radar, and should you choose to interview with us again in the future, I trust that you'll have a better experience.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Londen, Engeland) in Jan 2016
Interview
It appears the process was well structured although i only made it to the first interview. HR rep did not return calls and feedback was poor. i had to chase them for answers. i was told I would be a good fit and that they would call me back, however I did not hear anything for a long time.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
I applied for this position with an internal referral. A few days latter, I received an email from the recruiter, who had also recently hired on. She scheduled to call my cell phone. I gave it to her but she didn't call until I emailed her again. She finally called half an hour later and commented she had a different number..even though clearly my phone number was on the email thread.

Question 1
What I didn't expect was the recruiter spoke more about herself than giving me a chance to share my experiences. When I did get a chance, she cut me off and suggested I was better suited for an entry level position even though I have been in the industry for 15 years.
