Process
A recruiter called, and it took two weeks to schedule the interview. She then forgot to let me know and rescheduled it. After that, I had a phone screen with the manager of the team.
Questions
My basic experience and background were assessed. Nothing difficult. I expected to move forward to the next step.
After a week, I guess the recruiter forgot again, so I had to email her back. She replied saying they could not move forward, with a generic response stating no actual reason why they couldn't.
I replied back with a polite response and sought feedback. The recruiter never responded back.
It was such a waste of time, the entire process. I am glad I didn't move forward to the next step, as I know it would have taken another month for them to schedule it.

Salesforce Work Experiences
- 3.0Specialized Skills, Big ImpactSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesSeptember 22, 2025Pros: For those looking to grow, the Salesforce ecosystem is huge, providing many opportunities for career development. You can work on projects that have a large-scale impact since the platform is used by so many companies worldwide.Cons: A key drawback is that the work is very specific to the Salesforce platform. This means you'll be using proprietary tools and languages, which can be a double-edged sword. While it’s a great skill to have, it can feel less like traditional software engineering and more specialized, which might not appeal to everyone.
- 5.0Generous in many ways, enlightened leadershipSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJanuary 26, 2023Pros: Leadership acknowledges the value of remote work and doesn't demand going into the office if it's not important to a role. Salesforce tries to be a positive corporate model, and I'm unaware of any questionable practices. There's unquestionable commitment to cloud software as the future, which lets IT departments get back to core competencies rather than managing hardware.Cons: They just laid me off! Though I did get a nice severance package, I would have preferred to stay employed there. There are dead-end roles, meaning there is an end of trail to some career paths.
- 5.0Great Projects, Leadership, CultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 26, 2021Pros: Good projects, leadership, and culture.Cons: I can't think of any off the top of my head.
