I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Dublín, Dublín) in Oct 2019
Interview
I had a total of 4 interviews — Hr Screening, my Manager and Director, a panel interview, finally, my Director's manager.
The panel interview was fascinating. It has a business case study, and I have to prepare the presentation and demo. The most exciting part of the panel interview round that someone gets assigned to me called Panel buddy, who responded to any questions and advice about which points I should focus on and which I should ignore in my presentation and Demo.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Salesforce (París) in Nov 2019

Question 1
Usual questions, interviews are quite friendly.
The panel is a very difficult and demanding step. It requires at least 5 days of preparation work (7 to 8 days in my case). 1 to 2 hours presentation in front of a panel. Friendly atmosphere but challenging. This step must be taken seriously.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Tokio) in Nov 2019
Interview
1st phone interview with HR, 2nd face to face with mangers, 3rd presentation and demo with directors.
Interview process was well structured and deliberated. I had plenty of opportunities to know and learn about the company culture and their products through their knowledge base and using demo environment during interview process. HR is extremely helpful throughout the process by providing advice and help to prepare interviews which I believe was a good example of their corporate culture "Ohana".
