I applied to Salesforce through a recruiter. After the resume was selected, I had a 1 hour phone screening with the hiring manager who went through the different projects. Finally I had a video interview with a senior software engineer where there were coding questions and also technical question pertaining to the resume.

My interview journey with Salesforce was a valuable learning experience. I started my preparation by strengthening my fundamentals in Data Structures, Algorithms, DBMS, and Operating Systems, while also practicing coding problems regularly. This helped me clear the initial screening round. In the second round, the focus shifted toward system design, which exposed some gaps in my preparation. Although I was not able to move forward after that round, the experience helped me understand the importance of structured problem-solving and system design concepts. It also motivated me to prepare more deeply for future product-based company interviews.
