Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Salesforce (Atlanta, GA) en nov 2019
Entrevista
This was the smoothest interview process I had ever been through. My recruiter was very nice and always available to answer any questions that I had. I had applied online and received an email on the same day that Salesforce was interested in moving forward with me. I first spoke with the recruiter in a 30 minute call and had a Hangouts interview scheduled with the hiring manager. After speaking with the hiring manager, the next stage was to solve one of the problems given to me on HackerRank, which was timed for 3 hours.
Once I finished the HackerRank problem, I got an email from the recruiter that the team was interested in having me on-site. The on-site round was scheduled and it was 2 rounds with a mix of behavioral and technical questions. It was very relaxing and I had a great time talking to the team. It felt more of a discussion and everyone was really nice. After interviewing with the team, I found out a week later that I got the offer!

I cannot disclose the questions due to the non-disclosure agreement, but I would recommend studying your data structures and algorithms and practicing easy to medium questions on LeetCode.
The technical interview was much tougher than I anticipated. I faced a DSA question related to word searches that required optimizing a brute-force approach with a Trie. It was intense, but the practice I’d done on PracHub the week before really helped solidify my understanding of the problem-solving techniques. The behavioral round felt lighter, focusing on teamwork and project experience. After a couple of days, I received an offer, which I happily accepted. Overall, it was a challenging yet rewarding experience.

Word Search II - given an m x n board of characters and a list of words, return all words that can be formed from sequentially adjacent cells; had to optimize the brute-force backtracking with a Trie to pass the time limit
The interview process started with an online coding assessment that included DSA and problem-solving questions. After clearing the test, I had two technical interview rounds focused on data structures, OOPs concepts, DBMS, and project discussion. The final round was with the hiring manager where they asked about teamwork, problem solving, and career goals. The interviewers were professional and the process was smooth overall.
Went through 3 rounds. First round was a technical interview - it was a take home assessment. I didn't pass the test cases but still went through to the next round. The onsite had 1 behavioral, 1 system design, and 1 technical Leetcode style interview. It was in person on a whiteboard.
