I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2015
Interview
Such BS!! Had an internal referral, spoke to the recruiter, then the hiring manager who hyped up the role and team and showed great enthusiasm and invited me onsite. Recruiter was in touch to schedule the interview and was in constant contact and then suddenly went dark. After following up numerous times they said they went with an internal candidate. This happened again a year later for the same team... Super unprofessional
Total 4 Rounds, 1 - Technical, 2 - Managerial, 3 - HM, 4 - Process
Real time experience based questions.
Very structured and well defined interview processes...Took overall 2 weeks to close on the interview process...

Question 1
Explain to me how your background matches with how you understand the job description
Standard process of phone screen with recruiter asking qualifying questions and then explaining the process moving forward. Moved on to video interview with hiring manager going into more detail on background and asking technical questions to understand knowledge and methodologies. Interviews went well and hiring manager said recruiter would be in touch. I reached out after a few days to follow up but received no response. I understand if they found another candidate, but have the professionalism to let candidates know they're moving on with others.
