Principal Data Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process involved standard interviews with different people from various teams, with a lunch break in the middle.
There were a couple of programming parts, a behavioral part, and experience sharing segments. The interview wasn't overly difficult, but it covered a broad range of experience and knowledge.
Unfortunately, Salesforce does not have an on-site cafeteria, so you need to go outside for lunch. This was a bit surprising for such a large company.
Additionally, they made a non-competitive offer.
