Process

Years of Experience: 2.5 years

I applied through the Salesforce careers portal. After two weeks, a recruiter called and scheduled me for a virtual onsite interview process.

PS: The days mentioned below are not consecutive. The schedule lasted for a week.

Day 1:

  • Two 1-hour F2F interviews. Discussions focused on work experience and related technical questions. I was given a whiteboard programming question.

After these two rounds, I received a 90-minute HackerRank challenge. It consisted of one medium and one hard problem. I was able to solve only one problem at that time.

Day 2:

  • Morning: A 1-hour F2F interview with two panelists, primarily covering DSA and work experience questions. I was also given 2 programming questions that needed to be executed.
  • Afternoon: A 1-hour F2F interview with the hiring manager, focusing on work experience and behavioral questions. I was also given a puzzle question.

Day 3:

  • A 1-hour F2F interview, which mainly included system design and performance engineering questions, along with work experience questions.

Day 4:

  • A 30-minute F2F call with the Director of the team. We discussed basic work experiences and had general talks about the role and culture. (Basically, it seemed like they were checking for cultural fit).

After a week, I received the offer proposal and accepted it happily. In total, it took a month from the day I applied to the offer letter, and I feel that's a really fast and easy process.
