I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Jul 2019
Interview
3-stage process;
1. Screening Interview with the Recruiter outlining job spec, salary band, & generally seeing if you are a good fit for the role & company.
2. 1hr video call interview with 2 of the department managers. Questions around what you know about the company, the role you're applying for, as well as your CV, your achievements & usual interview questions.
3. 2 hr meeting face to face. 1 hr presentation. 30mins interview with Senior Manager & 30ins Q&A with members of the team.
Very thorough & supportive recruiters. I was surprised at how many touchpoints & how much contact I received from the recruitment team. They offered help in interview prep, offered presentation review etc. as well as continuous updates.

Question 1
What is the risk for them in hiring me for the role?
Needlessly long process of hiring, they should eliminate candidates before they go through all interview processes if they understand that candidate is not a good fit. I had too long and too many steps
In 3-4 rounds with friendly interviewers, be well prepared about personal characteristics. Connect with the interviewer, ask questions if you’re not sure, and maintain competitive yet low expectations throughout the process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2023
Interview
Everything was streamlined and intentional From the beginning of the process, starting with Haley (the recruiter)! From the first phone conversation, I was aware of how many rounds there would be. Four total with the final round being a presentation about me, my experience, & what I'm looking forward to if given the opportunity.
