      Senior Performance Engineer Interview

      12 May 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Burlington, MA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Burlington, MA) in May 2017

      Interview

      I contacted the recruiter who I had spoken to previously in the past regarding roles. Soon I had a phone screen set up with an engineer. I passed that and was invited on site for a half day interview. I met with 5 differing levels of interviewers who asked me about my experience, as well as technical questions. The next step was to set up a google hangout interview with 2 other members of the team. After I completed that, they got back to me within a few days and made me an offer, which I accepted. Overall a very good experience with good followup by the recruiter.

      Senior Performance Engineer Interview

      2 Jan 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out to me regarding a job posting I was somewhat qualified for - I was very specific about what I knew and didn't know in regard to the job posting with the recruiter, who told me not to worry, they rarely found anyone that matched every single requirement. I had a call with the hiring manger who asked me some very basic questions in which I answered all but one (and really that was just because I was given about 5 seconds to answer). I had the distinct impression the hiring manager had already decided against me even before any questions or comments were made on the call. A few weeks later, I got feedback that they weren't moving forward with my candidacy based on my lack of knowledge of Java and Python, which is strange because I do have that knowledge - but neither the recruiter nor the hiring manager asked *any* questions in regard to those topics.
