Interview
It seems people's interviews fall into one of two groups: the first is where Salesforce's HR is diligent, proactive and communicative; the second is where they drop a lot of balls and seem to fall victim to the chaotic pace.
Mine, unfortunately, was in the second group. I can't say that I should have been hired because I was well qualified for the position because my candidacy went through a combination of three bungled calls and appointments by the coordinator and her contractor assistant. I finally did get two onsite interviews: a group interview I thought I was 15 minutes early for but ended up being 15 minutes late because the HR coordinator gave me and the internal teams different times; finally, a second with a nice but highly distracted manager who didn't seem to want to hear what I could bring to the role but also could not articulate what he wanted.
Needless to say, I did not receive an offer. I was relieved.

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.

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
