I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2025
Interview
This was the longest interview processes I’ve experienced (six rounds spread across approximately three months). While each individual conversation was positive, the overall experience was challenging due to the length and lack of communication at the conclusion of the process.
The interview process was extremely long, spanning approximately three months and six separate interview rounds. While the individual interviewers were professional and the conversations themselves were generally positive, the overall process was unnecessarily drawn out.
After completing all interview stages, there was no clear follow-up, feedback, or formal closure provided. Given the significant time investment required from candidates, the lack of communication at the end of the process was disappointing and reflects a need for more transparency and respect for candidates’ time.
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
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England)
Interview
There was a massive lag between the first and second round through the internal recruiters. Then the one with the hiring manager was dreadful, he showed up 10 minutes late to the Zoom and then said ‘I hadn’t even prepared for this, let’s go through your cv now’.
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
I went through two rounds of interviews at Big Gigantic, including a detailed presentation, and was disappointed by the lack of transparency and communication. The role was pitched as significant but the offer reflected a supporting position, with compensation packaged in a way that reduced the actual hike to about 16%. HR did not disclose the budget upfront, dismissed concerns about responsibilities versus pay, and simply stated “people are in line, accept or reject.” For a prestigious brand, this rushed and dismissive approach from HR felt unprofessional and undermined the candidate experience.
