I applied to a subsidiary of Salesforce, so I'm not sure how completely this applies to the larger organization, but here goes.

I had a call with the recruiter, who seemed eager to help out in whatever way possible. A video call was arranged between me and the lead of the team I was applying for. The call was pretty standard, including questions about my previous projects and experience, and what I was looking for in a team/company.

After that, I was called in for a 2.5-hour interview. I chatted with one senior member for half an hour about the company structure. Then there were two more formal interviews, each with two interviewers.

The first was technical, including questions about Ruby and data types. There were also a couple of questions about projects, when I'd overcome a challenge, etc.

The second interview was more about the company way of doing things – what processes I enjoyed using, how I react to not knowing something, etc.

All the interviewers were extremely friendly, and I actually enjoyed (!) chatting with them.

Tell us about a time you overcame an issue at work. What did you learn?
