Phone screenings followed by onsite interviews. All the interviewers were polite and extremely professional. The recruiters from Salesforce gave me a pretty clear picture of what to expect on the day of the onsite interviews, the number of rounds I would have and the approximate time the interview process would take. During the technical rounds, interviewers allow sufficient time to think through each of your solutions. This was a common thread during all my technical interviews. You'll typically spend the first few minutes discussing the solution or clarifying the problem statement itself. Once that's done you'll be asked to implement the solution on paper in a language of your choice. The interviewers participate in the discussion and engage with the candidate. At several times during the interview when they feel that the candidate has solved the problem, additional constraints are sometimes added to see how your solution would work or how it would need to be modified to satisfy the new constraints. The behavioral interviews are pretty straight forward. It's more like a two way conversation. The interview is designed to understand you as a person and also give you insights of the role you are being hired for.
