I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jan 2013
Interview
I was interviewing for a remote position on the east coast. Initial phone screen with recruiter. Fairly straightforward questions regarding work history. Additionally, there were several questions to judge my knowledge of SFDC. I was notified that i was progressing to the next step of the interview process - phone interview with Regional Vice President ("RVP"). Prior to the call the recruiter providing numerous topics to be prepared to discuss regarding SFDC's product offerings and competition. The call with the RVP had more questions regarding work history. Mainly the discussion focused on SFDC products and how i would attack my territory from day one. Following the call the recruiter provided very positive feedback and that i would progress to an in person meeting with the RVP. Several days before the in person meeting I was contacted by the recruiter and told that they had changed strategy regarding the remote position and that it would no longer be located in my city. While disappointed that I spent considerable time preparing for the multiple interviews only to be told it was no longer available - the SFDC recruiter was very kind and genuinely felt bad about the circumstances.

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.

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
