J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) en févr. 2016
Entretien
I applied to a subsidiary of Salesforce, so not sure how completely this applies to the larger organization, but here goes.
I had a call with the recruiter, who seemed eager to help out in whatever way possible. A video call was arranged between me and the lead of the team I was applying for. The call was pretty standard, including questions about my previous projects and experience, and what I was looking for in a team/company.
After that, I was called in for a 2.5hr interview. I chatted with one senior member for half an hour about the company structure. Then then were two more formal interviews, each with two interviewers. The first was technical, including questions about Ruby and data types. There were also a couple of questions about projects, when I'd overcome a challenge, etc. The second interview was more about the company way of doing things – what processes I enjoyed using, how I react to not knowing something, etc. All the interviewers were extremely friendly and I actually enjoyed (!) chatting with them.

Question 1
Tell us about a time at which you overcame an issue at work. What did you learn?
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Question 1
Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
