I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Amsterdam) in Jul 2021
Interview
With seven lengthy conversations, including a presentation, this was a heavy process. Many conversations felt more "political" than focussed on skills and values. In total I spoke with about 15 stakeholders and it felt as if nobody was well informed on why I was in the process.

Question 1
They wanted to know how i would price their solution whereas this was not public knowledge
Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only.
6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed
Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

Apply via Workday, initial recruiter screening via phone call, 1:1 manager interview and introduction, then panel presentation with role play. You'll need to build and present a deck in the final stages.

Question 1
Walk me through a deal example and how you won the opportunity.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
