J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I had initial hacker rank test followed by phone screen with the manager. He explained more about the company and the team. We also discussed about my current job, interests and some use cases of my project.
Went for onsite a week later. The interview was smooth and I was given a lot of questions focusing on Trees and Arrays. Also, had 1 hr lunch interview with the manager to better understand the teams and to bring in any questions that I have.
The recruiter came back with offer within 3 days.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Cannot disclose questions due to NDA. However, a good preparation on Data structures and algorithms will be very helpful. Can expect leetcode medium questions.
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.
Questions d'entretien [1]
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.
