I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (La Grange Park, IL) in Dec 2015
Interview
3 phone interviews, 1 panel interview, 1 presentation. Recruiting was transparent on timing and quick to get back to me.
Most important - The vast majority of the interviewers were remote so I never felt like the company was serious about my candidacy or that I could make the best impression.
Most of my interviewers were not skilled. The questions asked were all over the place. They tell you to prep for situation questions then ask mostly behavioral questions with a couple of personality questions thrown in. I definitely felt that they didn't know what they were looking for or, if they did, that they didn't know how to get there with questions.
The place has a Jonestown vibe. Interviewers are very comfortable asking tough questions but not at all prepared to answer any. When I asked them tough questions they wouldn't give honest answers. I got the distinct impression that they felt someone was going to come down on them if they answered honestly. Imagine a reporter asking a North Korean questions about their country. "Yes, I love the Dear Leader. We have plenty to eat and everything is amazing." That's the kind of feeling I got from them.
After getting the bad news I asked for feedback and I got nothing concrete, just that other candidates were stronger. I asked how they were stronger and was given the generic "more experience" answer which read like BS. I pressed to know if they went internal and the recruiter finally admitted they did.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
Muy bien organizado, steps claros, intervistadores distraidos y con preguntas muy standard. Poca antencion a la experiencia anterior, parecian tener precoceptos sin fundamentos. Trato bastante agresivo y poco enfocado a la persona.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Montréal, QC) in Oct 2022
Interview
Hard but overall a good process. The person asked questions about myself and behavioural questions. Would be interested to see what will come of it. There seems to be a multi interview scenario here.
