I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Hyderābād) in Jun 2019
Interview
The interview process was professional and the interviewees were good and adept. It was a pleasant experience. The focus was on getting the end to end scenario right. There was a good mix of data modeling and creative thinking/problem solving as well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical PM questions where we had to describe E2E scenarios after thinking about about a specific problem statement. There were tests on how much detail oriented a person was, what was the ability to weave in new age technologies, data modeling etc.
There was nothing left to a later point, we needed to get to the bare metal right away and it was appreciated if you took a few minutes to formulate thought instead of jumping into the solution space right away.
Great professional interview panel - 5 rounds.
First, I did an HR screen. After that, I did a hiring manager screen. I then did a panel presentation to three panelists, and all the interviews were conducted via a virtual interview format.

What is your business case for adding AI functionality?
Hiring manager call followed by 4 panelists. The interviewers are at a level above you are applying for. All from the same team/org. It is primarily a behavioral interview. They are trying to assess if you have done the work in the specific domain and have experience working in SaaS space.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Great experience from introduction to offer. Recruiting team was excellent throughout the entire process and felt adequately prepared for the process. The interviews consisted of an initial discussion with the hiring manager, followed by 4 30-minute panels with cross-functional partners and adjacent colleagues. A bonus is Salesforce’s Insider program, which provides an opportunity to meet a current employee and ask a few questions. Overall, one of the best experiences I’ve had. I can tell they care about who they bring into their organization and rightfully so. Excited to bring my talents to Salesforce!
