First challenge was very straight forward, given this design, navigate to this page of results in your browser and make it match the design using only CSS.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Salesforce's interview process was genuinely great. The interview stages were all logical and streamlines, so nothing caught me off guard. I especially want to highlight the fact that the interviewers were extremely friendly. This made them easy to talk to so don't be nervous!
The interview process started off with a Hackerrank coding challenge that contained 2 questions. Next was a 45 min behavioural and culture fit interview. This interview consisted of standard behavioural questions (eg. describe a project or work experience). Finally, there was a 1 hour technical interview with an engineer.
My main advice for any candidate is to be enthusiastic about the company. This tip applies to all companies, but culture fit is extremely important to Salesforce. Show them your company knowledge and how excited you are to be a part of the team. A genuine desire to work with a company will help make up for any weaknesses you have or mistakes you made. As always, don't forget to Leetcode a bit before interviews ;)

Interview
The recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I had initial hacker rank test followed by phone screen with the manager. He explained more about the company and the team. We also discussed about my current job, interests and some use cases of my project.
Went for onsite a week later. The interview was smooth and I was given a lot of questions focusing on Trees and Arrays. Also, had 1 hr lunch interview with the manager to better understand the teams and to bring in any questions that I have.
The recruiter came back with offer within 3 days.

Question 1
Cannot disclose questions due to NDA. However, a good preparation on Data structures and algorithms will be very helpful. Can expect leetcode medium questions.
