Initially, I was so impressed upon seeing the YouTube videos about Salesforce and their Ohana (family) culture. However, when I met the team, my opinion changed. The people were not very friendly. The team showed so much attitude and didn't have much experience in interviewing. I was totally irritated with their behavior. It was my worst interview experience, and I didn't learn anything from them. It was a half-day waste for me. I asked one of the team members, "What do you enjoy most about the company and the team?" There were two people; they looked at each other and smiled, as if to say, "Are we enjoying here?"

Also, when I was writing code on the board, I was given a big list (7, 5, 3, 2, 4, 8, 9, 12, 67, 21, 43) to sort. For simplicity, I took my own example (3, 7, 2, 1), which is smaller than the given one. The interviewer stopped me and said, "Hey, that's not the list I gave you?" I almost laughed. Such a dumb person. Then I wrote merge sort.

After the onsite, HR did not share the feedback. I sent three email reminders, still no reply. This is how they treat people. Don't fall for the Ohana culture; it's all only in the videos. After the onsite, I was in a mindset not to join this company, even if I were offered more.
