Performance Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The interview process took 3-4 weeks, from the date of application to receiving the offer. The process was very clear and precise. I had one of the best experiences interviewing with Salesforce, and the recruiter was always on top of everything during each step.

After one week of submitting my application, I received an email from the recruiter to set up an introductory call about the position and my interests.

  • I set up a video conference interview with one of the team members, which included a combination of programming and work experience-related questions. This person was very pleasant to interview with.
  • Two to three days after my first interview, I received an email from my recruiter about the feedback and the next step in the interview process, which was a two-hour HackerRank online assignment.
  • After the online assignment, I was called for a final round of video call interviews with three different people, including the Hiring Manager and two Senior Architects from the team. These interviews focused more on a performance engineer and troubleshooting perspective, along with some behavioral questions about recent work experience.

Around one week after the interview, I received a call from the recruiter stating that the team wanted to extend an offer, which I happily accepted.

Questions

  • Challenging situation in your recent assignment?
