I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Very lengthy interview process. In fact, when it was all said and done, I had 3 phone interviews, 2 in person interviews, and a final google hangout interview. Although the process was extensive, my recruiter helped me feel prepared for every step of the way. It was the most challenging interview process I've been through but this is arguably the most competitive company to work for in the world. Each individual I interviewed with was very professional, challenging, and extremely intelligent. Ultimately, I did not get the job but they expressed that I was a fit for Salesforce and urged me to apply for a different position. Absolutely fell in love with this company throughout the interview stages and was in constant admiration at how helpful and brilliant the employees were. I applied for the other position, was offered, and accepted. Can't wait to join the OHANA.

Question 1
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
