Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
30 minute phone interview with recruiter, 30 minute phone interview with hiring manager, 1st round in person interview where I met with 6 people 1:1. 2nd round interview was with 2 people (including hiring manager). After the last interview, it took approximately 40 days for them to give me the final answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
what statistical programming languages to you use? Tell me about some statistical models that you've developed? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What is the first thing you would do when you got here? How do you handle missing values?
Initial screening with recruiter,
30 minutes case with hiring manager on phone
first round onsite interview with 5 members from the team
All ex-consultants from a top MC firm. They were polite but I could sense that I was not considered smart enough because I came from a lower rung consulting firm and the old world employer
Overall interview experience was pleasant
