Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I received a request from a recruiter on LinkedIn for an Infrastructure team. I requested to schedule a phone screen.
The phone screen was scheduled pretty quickly. I received a response back in two weeks stating they liked me and would like to invite me for an onsite interview. The onsite involved interviewing with five team members. The interview questions were not rocket science.
I received a callback from the recruiter; they liked me and wanted to see if they could find a team. It has been more than two weeks, and I haven't heard anything from them, not even a rejection.
Please improve your hiring process and be professional in informing candidates about the decision.

- 3.0Mediocre company for those who value stability more than salary and technologySenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesSeptember 19, 2021Pros: Great stability of employment, with folks who have been here for more than 6 years. No annual performance reviews. Great Indian work culture. Rest and vest. Great work/life balance as no one expects anything from you.Cons: - Salesforce is a business-oriented company, so no high tech is present there. - Some orgs are stuck at Java 6. - Some engineers have no clue about modern technology. - A lot of people are hired by referrals, so they all know each other from their former companies. - Salary is way below FAANG, with no extra RSUs for those who can't sell themselves. You won't get promoted just because you are smart, as all promotions are a political thing. - Not everyone might understand Indian work culture.
