  VP Chat, Four Rounds, Then Team MatchingSalesforce · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · Sep 2026

  In progress

  Cross Cloud org. Round 1 was a chat with a VP. Round 2 was an OA; one of the questions was problem 443. Round 3 was two VOs, one coding and one system design. The coding was problem 460. The system design was to design a coffee shop order system. Round 4 was the onsite, same as above. The coding question was the same as the one in another thread on this forum — maybe a bit more complex, because y…

  Salesforce Account Executive interview with a three-stage in-person panel and account strategySalesforce · Account Executive · Onsite · Jul 2026

  The recruiter process was organized and supportive. I got guidance that made the next steps clearer, along with preparation materials that helped me understand the expectations. The flow appeared to have three stages, with the last round as an in-person panel. The interviews were structured and purposeful. Instead of asking the same behavioral questions repeatedly, each interviewer focused on a d…

  Salesforce Account Executive interview with Dublin relocation questions and mismatched rejection feedbackSalesforce · Account Executive · Jul 2026

  Rejected

  After a couple of early steps that felt fairly normal, the process broke down at the fourth stage. I had been told that the third interview would focus on my motivations and details around relocating to Dublin, so I prepared for that context and answered accordingly. When the rejection feedback finally arrived, it cited commercial skills that, as far as I understood, had never been asked about or…

  Salesforce Account Executive interview: demoralizing recruiter processSalesforce · Account Executive · Jul 2026

  The recruiters made me feel as though my time was something I should be grateful to spend, and I did not feel heard. They seemed to move through checklists and pass me to other recruiters to see which openings existed. The process dragged with gaps in communication. I was asked whether I would take a lower role to get in, with the implication that others step back to join Salesforce. By the hirin…

  Salesforce Customer Success Engineer interview experienceSalesforce · Customer Success Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  After speaking with the recruiter, I had a technical round where I discussed my project experience and worked through a piece of provided code. I was asked to make the code more production-ready, and the coding-style questions connected back to OOP concepts. The later managerial round focused on customer work: how I would handle situations, manage relationships, and name a few Salesforce products…

  Salesforce Customer Success Engineer Interview Experience: HackerRank through techno-managerialSalesforce · Customer Success Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026

  My process had three direct rounds. First came an online HackerRank coding session focused on problem-solving. Then I had a technical round that covered Stack versus Heap, debugging a snippet to find the cause of a NullPointerException, and HTTP methods. The final step was described as techno-managerial. That fit the overall process: I expected to show technical grounding while also explaining ho…

  Salesforce Software Engineer interview: DFS and scalable-system designSalesforce · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  My process began with a recruiter screen and then a technical round built around a hard LeetCode-style DSA problem that leaned heavily on DFS. I spent the session working through the approach and tradeoffs while trying to keep my reasoning clear. After that, I had a high-level design interview about scalability and reliability. It pushed me beyond an immediate coding solution toward how a system…

  Software Engineer interview at Salesforce: Futureforce offerSalesforce · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  Offer

  I applied to the Futureforce tech accelerator and received a HackerRank OA with two or three LeetCode questions. After about a month, I advanced and attended an online preparation presentation with engineers for the system-design discussions ahead. The interview combined behavioral discussion of projects and AI use with a LeetCode question and follow-ups. A week later, I received and accepted an…

  Rushed Team Match, Ghosted Before the OnsiteSalesforce · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jun 2026

  Rejected

  This was a really baffling hiring process. Is Salesforce's general hire now all team-specific interviews instead of a unified track? Round 1: OA — sent later on, an online test on the HackerRank platform. If I remember right it was LeetCode-style stuff, not too hard, but the test cases were kind of annoying. After I passed, about a month later an HR person reached out — but it wasn't the general-…

  Online Round, One Onsite Day of Eliminations, SMTS Offer Two Days LaterSalesforce · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · May 2026

  Offer

  A bit about me: I have 6+ years of experience, and I got laid off from my previous company in February 2026. Right after that I started brushing up on DSA and system design. After roughly 3-4 weeks of studying I felt ready to begin interviewing. In March I reached out to a Salesforce recruiter directly, since a friend of mine had passed along the contact. Here is how the process went. Online asse…

  Five Onsite Rounds, Every One Circles Back to Multi-TenancySalesforce · Software Engineer · Onsite · Apr 2026

  Sharing my interview experience with Salesforce. My impression of this company is very different from consumer-product companies: the problems themselves aren't going for difficulty, but almost every round eventually circles back to "what if this system is shared by a lot of customers." Multi-tenancy, permissions, and configurability ran through the whole interview. There was also a whole round d…

  Surprise Behavioral Block Before a LeetCode Hard Onsite, Ending in an OfferSalesforce · Software Engineer · Senior+ · Onsite · Feb 2026

  Offer

  My road to a Salesforce MTS offer started in Asia. I began as an intern back home and moved up to Senior Software Engineer there. After that I co-founded a startup and stayed with it until 2022. Then I moved to the U.S. and could not legally work at first because of my work authorization. I did not want to just sit around, so I used the gap on myself. I did an MS in Computer Science through Georg…

  Recruiter Forgot About Me, Then a No-Coding Cloud RoundSalesforce · Software Engineer II · Onsite · Sep 2025

  In April, a recruiter reached out and scheduled a video call to get a sense of my situation. They mentioned there would be a lot of openings coming after that. In June I noticed a large number of Salesforce job postings, but the recruiter had forgotten about me, so I emailed to nudge them. I was interviewing for SDE 2. Round 1: hiring manager screening. Mostly asked about my background and why I…
