Principal Software Engineer/Architect Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India

Rounds:

HackerRank online
-
Code: The interviewer is looking for ritualistic Java templates – class members, getters/setters, naming conventions, etc.
-
System Design: A HackerRank round disguised as system design.
-
System Design II: Another HackerRank challenge presented as a design problem. Design a trie.
Summary:
LeetCode champions are looking for LeetCode/HackerRank champions, not individuals with deep technical insight. After two rounds, I didn't feel it was worth investing more time and lost interest in Salesforce, proceeding casually with the following.

Salesforce Work Experiences
- 3.0The company changed a lot after COVIDLead Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaNovember 7, 2024Pros: I worked at Salesforce for 5 years. I must say it was one of the best experiences. Till 2021, the team and work culture were good in my team. Benefits were awesome, and till mid-2022, I had loved working for the team and my work as well.Cons: However, all hell broke loose in 2021. A lot of people were hired into critical positions, and they brought with them their own toxic work culture. Also, in the hiring process, candidates with references got in even though the interview was average, just because a manager knew them. My manager changed. The new manager was/is a micromanager, making late-night calls at odd hours and questioning the team about their commitment. The work culture had become borderline toxic. I left the company in 2023. I hope this changes and would love to join back the company.
