      Account Executive Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublin, Dublin) in Sep 2022

      Interview

      Three rounds of interviews: - Recruiter screening - Interview with two managers - Presentation to the same two managers The hardest part was the presentation, as you will present your Bio, a deal that you closed, choose an account and present one of SF products, and Plan for your territory. Interview screening: Normal interview questions tell me about yourself, why you are interested in SF, biggest achievements. Managers interview: You go through each role with details about your activities, targets, and achievements in numbers. The managers will ask questions, you should expect unexpected questions to think on your feet for example what type of challenges are start-ups facing or which sector is thriving in the territory you will be managing and why? Presentation: while you go through it, they will ask different questions such as: how do you achieve all these numbers? What is your strategy? How did you handle requests for a discount from the client? What other SF solutions can you sell to the same client? What makes SF different from other competitors? How would you manage a book of 1000 clients?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Salesforce

      Interview

      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.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY)

      Interview

      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
