I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Buckhead, GA) in Mar 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a Salesforce recruiter regarding an application I submitted through their Career's site. The recruiter was very friendly and professional the whole way through. I had a quick phone screen with the recruiter, followed by a screen with a hiring manager, followed by a timed Hackerrank coding exercise. After a week, the recruiter let me know the results of the review (I was rejected) and that was that. Had I made it past that round, I was told there would be an all-day on-site interview after which a final decision would be made on whether or not to tender an offer.

I had a disappointing experience which i never expected from Salesforce Hiring manager. During the interview, the hiring manager was unprofessional and mocking at the answers. A constructive discussions and a respectful approach should have created a better experience for both parties.
