I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Got an employee referral, hiring manager reached out with an interview with a senior UX designer couple days later. Interview lasted around 45, after which interviewer was very abrupt even though I had more questions. He did not elaborate on next steps.

Question 1
Mostly portfolio review/what I wanted in an internship
Very simple and organized.
When did you work with an ambiguous problem? How do you work with stakeholders? Interviewer was incredibly nice and recruiter as well. I did not receive an offer at the end of it.
Recruiter screening then a portfolio presentation where they also ask you some behavioral questions. Last round was a quick interview with the hiring manager with all behavioral questions. Process was dragged on due to the holidays
I had a very positive experience during my interview. The people I met were genuinely nice and approachable, which made for a comfortable and engaging environment. The conversation flowed easily, and I felt at ease throughout the process.
The questions asked about my portfolio were insightful and relevant, showing a genuine interest in my work and thought process. This allowed me to showcase my skills and experience effectively.
Additionally, I was impressed by the prompt response after the interview. The quick follow-up was appreciated and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and respect for my time.
Overall, it was a great experience with a friendly and professional atmosphere.
