Mostly questions around your current job and a few questions around problems needed to be solved in the new position. There were 5+1 rounds.
In the end I didnt get an offer, I was told I hadnt handled the scope they expected me to handle. Jokes on me because I was actually gonna take a scope cut in the new job and probably handle 3x the scope and complexity than their position, so I obviously didnt relay my current job responsibilities well.
I found everyone in the process to be extremely friendly. In retrospect I should understood expectations better and relayed more of my experience.
One super weird thing was that even though I was queued for back to back interviews which included the lunch hour, I had no lunch interview. So at the end of the process I was super hungry :)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Jan 2024
Interview
Typical set up. Meet with Recruiter, hiring manager and then 2 more rounds (one with panel). Very quick turn around. Discussed examples of situations. Thought provoking questions, good conversation about the role and Salesforce culture.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you dealt with stakeholders with competing priorities.
Painfully slow and confusing. I didn't know what the next steps were or what to expect. I expected better from Benioff's team and was disappointed in the results. I just wish someone would have followed up with me afterwards. Got automated emails and did not reply to them.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2021
Interview
The interview process was very well structured. Interviewers were warm & inviting. Each interviewer seemed to be prepared & had done their homework about my background/experience. They shared personal experiences on working at Salesforce and how they had adapted to WFH during Covid
