I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in May 2026
Interview
Engaging and well run. They were very nice and explained everything. The interview was behavioral and very standard for behavioral interviews and not too hard. Overall good experience and good time.

Interview
Processus de recrutement très impersonnel et excessivement formaté.
On a clairement l’impression qu’il faut apprendre à répondre “comme il faut” plutôt que d’être soi-même. Les échanges ressemblent plus à un exercice scolaire qu’à une vraie discussion.
Certaines questions donnent même le sentiment d’être piégeuses, ce qui rend l’expérience assez inconfortable et peu représentative d’un environnement de travail sain.
Très décevant sur l’aspect humain.
