Process

The interview process was very fast and professional. All the interviewers upheld the Salesforce "Ohana" spirit. There was so much to learn from the culture.

My rounds were as follows:

  1. Technical Phone Interview with manager - 1 hour
  2. Remote UI project - 10 days to submit / 4-hour test (HTML5/CSS3/JS)
  3. Onsite

The questions comprised DS&Algos (Easy/Medium) and lots of JavaScript (hashing, hoisting, variables, objects, closures, etc.). There were also some CSS questions. One interview round focused on understanding systems fundamentally, with a particular emphasis on Big O notation. The best part is if you can teach the interviewers something; this helped me earn some brownie points. In my case, I educated them about frameworks and why one should be used over another. Using the whiteboard always helps. If you have prepared well, are confident in your fundamentals, and know how to present and articulate them, then you have aced it. The interviewers genuinely helped keep the stress down.
