Member of Technical Staff (Software Engineer) Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The recruiter called multiple times to inquire about my status.
There was no follow-up regarding next steps, even though my resume fit the given requirements.
Luckily, I received another call from the recruiter and scheduled a telephonic interview. On the scheduled day, the interviewer was unavailable, and the interview was postponed.
The recruiter called again for the next schedule.
It felt like a waste of my time dealing with Salesforce recruiters.

- 2.0From riches to ragsMember of Technical Staff (Software Engineer) • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesAugust 25, 2015Pros: Great company 3 years ago. Then it tripled and went to the wolves. Work-life balance is good. If you want to sit and grow at a steady pace, then it's great. Don't expect too many merit-based incentives. Some free lunches. It's easy to switch teams in parallel. Vertical movement is easier for management. Horizontal movement is extremely scrutinized (they would rather hire inexperienced interns than in-house and train someone for a position). Company stocks are great. Bonuses are okay. The company still has a lot of room to grow, which is great for its workers.Cons: If you are the kind of person who thrives on appearance and taking credit for others' work, or if you're a manager, then this is the place for you. Work is not connected to pay. The impression of work is. Managers are pretty much guaranteed promotions every year if they don't distribute their budget on promoting their hires. I've known developers who've left because of this and also conscientious managers who were tired of playing the devil. Tripled in size in 3 years, and the culture is no more. Now it's a hodgepodge of Microsoft and Oracle.
