I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (New York, NY) in Jul 2023
Interview
Wonderful interview process. Everyone was so friendly and transparent about the process from the beginning. It was about four weeks long in which I had a screening with the recruiter, meeting with the hiring manager, and then a panel interview with two managers on the team. The fourth step was a peer-to-peer discussion meeting with a current BDR to address any questions or concerns about the day to day of the job.
First screening call, then 1 on 1 with hiring manager, last one panel interview. The screening interview was not bad just Basics. The is role-play in second interview and presentation

Engaging and well run. They were very nice and explained everything. The interview was behavioral and very standard for behavioral interviews and not too hard. Overall good experience and good time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2026
Interview
Processus de recrutement très impersonnel et excessivement formaté.
On a clairement l’impression qu’il faut apprendre à répondre “comme il faut” plutôt que d’être soi-même. Les échanges ressemblent plus à un exercice scolaire qu’à une vraie discussion.
Certaines questions donnent même le sentiment d’être piégeuses, ce qui rend l’expérience assez inconfortable et peu représentative d’un environnement de travail sain.
Très décevant sur l’aspect humain.
