First I had a phone screen by talent scout, which was followed up with a phone call from my recruiter. A few weeks later, I had a video conference interview with the hiring manager, followed by another video conference interview from her manager.

Question 1
Why do you want to work at Salesforce? What are you hoping to get out of your internship?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Dec 2018
Interview
Within a week of applying online, I was contacted by the recruiter and had a pleasant phone screening with her. Within a week, I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. A week later the recruiter emailed asking for my availability for an on-site interview. Then no word from the recruiter for two weeks.
After I finally made it on-site for a series of interviews, I was told I'd hear back within a week. But nothing. Week after week the recruiter showed no initiative in reaching out to me. And every time I reached out to her, she promised an answer within a couple days. This happened literally 6 times.
I had an excellent experience interviewing with the entire team, but the lack of respect and organization from the recruiter was unbelievable. If you need more time to make a decision, just say so. Why promise something you can't deliver? Why promise something you can't deliver 6 times?
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. My expectation is for my team to close the loop with every candidate. I am sorry to hear this was not the case in your experience. We appreciate your time and know how valuable it is. Your experience will be used as an opportunity to reeducate the team. Should you consider applying for a job with us in the future, please trust that you will have a better experience. Best of luck in your search!

Interview process went extremely smoothly. Everyone was very transparent. They kept open communication throughout the entire process, making sure I knew next steps and expectations. It was truly the best interview experience I’ve ever had.
