I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The entire process was very well done and incredibly thorough. My recruiter was present the entire time and helped me along the process.
The interview questions and demanding nature led me to believe (which was later confirmed) that the team really does value the ability to add to a corporate culture, not just the bottom line.
I enjoyed the experience and was fortune enough to be offered a position. Really is a well run program and one I'm excited to join.

Question 1
Describe a business deal that closed along with the hurdles, solutions and outcome.
I had a really positive experience interviewing for an Account Executive role at Salesforce.
I was referred by an employee and assigned to a specific hiring manager who was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Every stage was well-structured — I was provided with clear expectations and even examples of questions, which allowed me to prepare properly.
The timing between interviews was very reasonable (about 1–1.5 weeks), and communication was consistent. The hiring manager stayed closely involved the whole time and was genuinely helpful and professional.
Although I didn’t receive an offer and understand I wasn’t the best fit for this particular role, I’m very grateful for the level of professionalism, transparency, and support I experienced throughout the process.
Tough process. Multiple interviews with final RVP on different teams. They didn’t seem interested, almost like they already had an internal hire ready. Waste of time it seemed, oh well.
The process has three stages: first, a recruiter screen; second, an interview with the hiring manager; and finally, a panel presentation as the last round in the overall interview process.
