Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Salesforce (Londres, Inglaterra) en dic 2016
Entrevista
I applied online.
The process was
- 20 minute screening call with an internal (HR) recruiter
- 1-2 hour chat with Senior Director of Engineering
- A coding challenge homework exercise in advance of the second interview - I had a week's notice so had to cram this in on a weekend and a few late nights.
- 3 hours of technical interviews with Lead Engineer, Principal Engineer, Senior Manager
- Background checks
HR were very helpful and kept me fully updated through each step of the process.
If you are accepted you will need to pass background checks so make sure you have access to a scanner and ID/proof-of-address/education documents.

Describe two things you would like to continue doing and two things you would like to stop doing.
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
