I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England) in Nov 2021
Interview
Advice:
* If you are going to apply for a role at Salesforce, make sure you get referred by an existing employee. Apparently, 60% of people getting a job at Salesforce have been referred. Internal recruiters have to talk to you within a specific timeframe (e.g. 1 week) if you are referred
* Understand the company values and be ready to talk about how you support/have supported those
* Don't lie on your CV. Extensive background checks are done on new joiners, including past experiences, education (regardless of how long you have been working) etc. Initial CV will be used
Interview process:
1) Quick call with internal recruiter to go over some facts, check CV and previous pay/package
2) 1 hour call with future colleague (someone in a similar position) to go through competency-based questions. Fairly casual discussion, with opportunity to ask questions
3) 1 hour call with future manager. Fairly casual discussion, with opportunity to ask questions
4) 1 hour call for a panel presentation to 3 or 4 people in various roles. A number of scenarios are given in advance, candidate needs to choose one and prepare some slides. Discussion might stay on the scenario presented but also may be questions about previous experiences
5) Verbal offer a few days later, followed by written offer
Overall process took 5 weeks, from the first call with the recruiter to getting a verbal offer.
Straightforward, standard questions by the book, nothing special or out of the ordinary. Classical PM questions, some were related to usage of AI in the daily work and to team management
I had a 30 minute phone screening with recruiter and then a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager. After that, I was told they would be in touch with next steps. 2 weeks later I received a rejection email.

Getting a referral for a job is a massive advantage. No salary was disclosed I was asked what I would expect first. Interview was pretty casual and easy going. Would recommend
