I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
Very insecure employees who reject candidates despite answering questions correctly. Shows the culture of this place. First had a technical phone interview the manager of the team and aced his interview. He was impressed with my technical skills, so I was told by the recruiter. Later another phone screen with a team member. I answered all his questions correctly. Despite that he rejected me. He clearly seems to be one of the insecure kinds, who worries if someone smarter than him joined the team, his lack of skills would be noticeable.
Stop wasting people's time.
