I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (Louisville, CO) in Feb 2015
Interview
Thorough, high degree of courtesy. Series of 7 phone calls led to one in-person interview/mock demonstration, 1.5 hours in duration. Impressive investment in a candidate. LinkedIn profile was cited by the internal HR/recruiter as the reason they reached out re: my potential candidacy for the role. Keep that profile fresh and active!

Question 1
Tell us about a challenging sales engagement situation and how you contributed to a successful outcome (a signed contract)?
after a scan with human resources I moved to the interview with future boss to see if our visions were aligned. it was a friendly chat and not technical. after some weeks HR called again to see I was rejected.
The interview process was structured and professional, starting with a recruiter call, followed by a technical assessment, then behavioral interviews with managers and a panel. Questions focused on experience, problem-solving, and cultural fit. Overall, clear communication and respectful interactions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Madrid) in Apr 2021
Interview
Interviewed with HR representative regarding expectations, job description, etc. Very nice chat and discussion. Interviewed with Hiring Manager regarding the role itself. After that interview it was decided I was not a good fit, but hearing the news through a phone call with feedback was really valuable. These days companies just sent an automated email, so even if this was not a successful process for me, I would recommend applying as the process was outstanding.
