I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
First a 30-minute call with the recruiter, followed by another 30-minute call with the hiring manager the week after
At first, the recruiter was very responsive and set up an interview with the manager within 2 days. Didn't click too well with manager, that's alright, but no one even bothered to give me a response after I tried following up with the recruiter 3 times over the course of 3 weeks.
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Unstructured and not clear about the process. They were looking for specific skill set and experience but the interview process like case study problem was generic and unrelated to job requirements

Question 1
Too many behavioral questions in the initial rounds
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Interview process was challenging, but fair. Recruiter kept me in the loop along the way. It comprises an SQL test, case study, take home data science challenge, on-site presentation, and stakeholder meeting. The whole process took about 2 months from initial application to offer, which I think could have been expedited.

Question 1
SQL calculations (group by, having conditions, temp tables), and case study where you might apply business analytics skills, machine learning models, and presentation skills.
I was contacted by a recruiter at LinkedIn. Did the call with the recruiter, then the team manager, then a coding test and finally the on-site interviews. The questions were strainghtforward and the experience rewarding.
