Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) en dic 2018
Entrevista
4 rounds. Initial code screen. Then video interview with two parts, resume/background and code screen. Then onsite with three parts, interview of abstract CS topic, interview of applied CS topics and whiteboard problem, more in depth interview of resume/background. Last round was about fit and wanted to know where else I was interviewing.
Then got call with verbal offer. Wanted acceptance of verbal offer before written would be extended which was awkward and felt strange to me.
Everything well-done and timely except offer-extension, that was unclear and awkward.

Cs concepts and typical coding screen/whiteboard problems
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.
