I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
During the process, I had several interviews (about 15), but due to the position and me being out of the USA made all the sense. This way it gave me the opportunity to meet all the team and vice versa.
Although, the interviews had a formal content, they were more a conversation and debate of ideas and experiences. I really enjoyed the interviews and had very interesting conversations. It was not only them that were interviewing, I was also trying to figure out if it was a place/team that I want to work with. Everyone was very nice and polite.

Question 1
From the dozens of questions made, I remember one in particular: how many coffee shops are there in San Francisco?
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!
