I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce in Feb 2023
Interview
1st round interview was a phone call with the recruiter - fairly basic overview of role, salary range, benefits, etc. - and a few "tell me about a time" questions were thrown in. 2nd round interview was a 30-minute video call with a peer - she asked 5 behavioral questions.

Question 1
What was the most impactful project you've worked on? Tell me about a time when you took a risk and what happened? Tell me about a time you had to speak up about something that was contrary to another's point of view. Tell me about a time you had to shift your style with an internal stakeholder.

Interview
Process: Initial Phone Screen, 2 Rounds of Interviews, and a Panel Presentation. Overall great recruiting experience; it went rather quickly (~ a month). The recruiter was fantastic and kept me updated throughout the entire process. Interviews were more conversations vs running through a list of scripted questions. One of the more positive experiences I've had that I can remember (from a big tech and management consulting perspective).

How do you manage difficult clients with examples to further explain.

Interview
I interviewed for 5 different roles at Salesforce over a one year period, so I have a good insight into the recruiting process! The interview process is in multiple phases: 1st: Initial phone call with the recruiter to screen you for suitability. I always made it past this stage as you are usually good to go if you match your application. 2nd: Meeting with the hiring manager. Questions are straight forward about your work experience. There are set interview questions that are the "tell me about a time" style, but less complicated or complex than most behavioral interview questions tend to be. The hiring managers are always great to talk to and very friendly. I like to highlight my community involvement as well as it ties in nicely with Salesforce values. 3rd: Multiple meetings with current team members for the team you are being hired on and/or senior leaders from other teams (usually 4, sometimes 3). This is a good way to meet the team and other people to see if you are a good fit. The questions are similar, so I like to prepare different examples ahead of time to use so that I am not giving the same experience every time. 4th: Sometimes there is a 4th meeting with the hiring manager again or their leader, but usually the process ends after meeting with the team. The recruiting process and recruiters are by far the best in the world. I also interviewed at Google, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, Door Dash etc. and they do not even compare to how professional, upfront in communications and easy to follow interviews that Salesforce has! It would be nice if there were a few less interviews during the process, but everyone was wonderful to speak with.

Question 1
Lots of questions around managing rapid change; examples of being flexible when the directions are ambiguous; also how I have managed large transformational projects. My role was non-technical, so I would assume a technical interview would be based more on the hands on portion of those roles.
