The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce
Interview
Recruiter was terrible - never kept in touch and I had to constant chase for updates throughout the process.
First interview was with the hiring manager - found him very rude and arrogant throughout, did not do a good job of selling the job to me.
Second interview was a panel interview, again there was an air of arrogance from the people in the room, they didn't answer my questions well and picked at small things in the presentation which was unnecessary.
Took almost 2 weeks for the recruiter to call me up and tell me they weren't taking the process any further - I was disappointed but on reflection I wouldn't want to work for a company with such arrogance and people who think they are better than others. I would advice candidates to look elsewhere such as Facebook, Google or Microsoft.
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.

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
