I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2012
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. Very knowledgeable about SFDC, sales process, what they are looking for, etc. Called back and advised that they wanted to do a panel interview. Interviewed with two VP's f2f, went on to presentation portion of interview process. This is where it really got busy as the apparent goal is to keep you on your toes, and see who will look at what they are expecting and bail, or, just do it. Received info that was required to create a presentation. Role-play selling to execs at a company. The more you prepare/practice, the better. Seems that they wanted to see if you have a presence, can think on your feet, present the product, and ask for the sale. All in all not too bad, but initially, I admit to being a little overwhelmed by process. Meditating on it made it easy to actually do. if you believe in yourself and your abilities, the interview process should be no problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General sales questions you would expect in any sales-oriented interview.
pretty easy interview. Had to do a case. It felt like it was just a formality and they put me up to it to fit into their standard processes. Not the best experience but it is what it is
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (London, England)
Interview
There was a massive lag between the first and second round through the internal recruiters. Then the one with the hiring manager was dreadful, he showed up 10 minutes late to the Zoom and then said ‘I hadn’t even prepared for this, let’s go through your cv now’.
I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Bengaluru) in May 2026
Interview
I went through two rounds of interviews at Big Gigantic, including a detailed presentation, and was disappointed by the lack of transparency and communication. The role was pitched as significant but the offer reflected a supporting position, with compensation packaged in a way that reduced the actual hike to about 16%. HR did not disclose the budget upfront, dismissed concerns about responsibilities versus pay, and simply stated “people are in line, accept or reject.” For a prestigious brand, this rushed and dismissive approach from HR felt unprofessional and undermined the candidate experience.
