I was referred by someone I knew from previous work experience. It was exactly three weeks between my first application and me getting feedback from the recruiter that they're ready to make an offer . I am on an H1B, so it is going to take a few weeks for me to get the transfer process completed. After I applied on Friday, I had a phone screen with the recruiter, then a phone screen with the hiring manager within the first week. My on-site interview followed in about 10 days. And few days after that, I heard back with the offer. Recruiter screen - It was just a conversation around what I currently do, why I am testing the job market, a fair discussion on expected compensation etc. At the end of the call, we already set up our next round. Hiring manager Phone Screen - I was asked to address the following - my knowledge about Salesforce - my knowledge about the group - my knowledge about the position. - how I ended up in Program Management from a background in technology. - What is the one thing you want in your next job? The onsite interview involved 6 interviews back to back - 5 with various members on the team and then a final discussion with the recruiter.

The process overall was pretty standard. I had 5 rounds of interviews: 1 phone screen, 1 interview with the hiring manager, 1 round with team members (4), and a 30 min presentation. Everyone was notably very kind and that made me feel good about moving forward with the position. It took a long time from start to finish -- about 4.5 months, but I started in November so just before the holiday period. The recruiter noted that my process was taking particularly long and this was not the norm. I think it also had to do with some hiring policy changes occurring at the same time. Ultimately I really enjoyed the process and I am looking forward to working at Salesforce (Slack).
