I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview process began with an initial phone screening with a recruiter, followed by a technical assessment. After passing the assessment, I had two rounds of interviews with the hiring manager and team members, focusing on my sales experience, problem-solving skills, and cultural fit. The process was well-organized and communication was clear throughout.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time when you successfully closed a challenging deal?
Recruiter missed multiple interviews only to tell me they have no positions only.
6 months later I receive an interview invite with pay $20k lower than originally discussed
Manager arrives late to the interview then cuts the time early. Company seems disorganized and difficult to take seriously as a so called leader in SaaS.

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
