Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Salesforce en feb 2017
Entrevista
I applied through a reference by an employee in the company. It expedited my application process and I received an on-site interview that lasted approximately 2.5 hours. The interview consisted of 3 sessions, 2 technical and 1 more conversational (mostly them talking about Salesforce and me asking questions). I received an offer within a week after the interview.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
What is a heap?
What are some common kernel commands you use? How would you find a file in a folder from command line?
Question about binary search trees.
Question about OOP (how would you implement a parking lot class?)
Question about unit testing.
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.
