Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

I had applied to a couple of positions that matched my skillset through an employee referral. The recruiter reached out the next day and was prompt in scheduling the initial phone screen and a call with the hiring manager. However, it did not go further.

A month later, I was reached out by another recruiter, Kavitha, for one of the positions I had applied for. She was very prompt in coordinating the initial phone screen and interview call with the hiring manager. I was emailed the HackerRank online assessment to be completed for the next step of the interview. I completed it and got the virtual onsite interview scheduled for that position.

The interviewers were great and focused on problem-solving skills and object-oriented concepts. I had:

  • 3 coding sessions, which also included 1 design challenge.
  • A behavioral interview session with the hiring manager.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I accepted the offer. It has been tough to schedule interviews with everyone being remote and still trying to coordinate with applicants, so I really appreciate their effort. I wanted to give a shout-out to Salesforce for streamlining the entire interview process and trying their best in onboarding new hires during COVID-19 (shelter at home). I am really looking forward to being part of the Salesforce Ohana.
