I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
I had two phone conversations prior to the onsite. The first conversation with an inbound recruiter was very pleasant and lasted about 20 minutes. We went over some of my answers and she gave me great feedback on how to strengthen the points. The second phone conversation with a different recruiter was very helpful as well and was mostly to prep for the onsite. Only advice for the onsite: do the research beforehand! Everyone is very friendly but essentially you have this one onsite to show your personality and your best.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
The first interview was with a recruiter over the phone. The second phone interview was more a prep call for the in-person interview. At the in-person, I met with an employee in my same role first and then had a panel interview with several sales managers.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Toronto, ON)
Interview
I was referred by an employee. A recruiter emailed me back to set up a discovery call - she was
warm, reassuring and knowledgable - she gave me awesome tips for my interview and was very encouraging and supportive! Next step was a panel interview with managers and peers - it was an intense process, lots of thought-provoking questions but everyone is super friendly and warm. The team made me feel right at home and was more supportive than intimidating. If you want to get a job at SF, make sure you do some trails to learn more about the product, get to know their culture, values and philanthropic values - it's truly a magical place. Be a master of story telling and avoid answering questions in a predictable way, be yourself and be unique. A couple of days after my interview, I got a call from my recruiter with feedback from the team and I got my offer.
