J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 6 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Salesforce (San Francisco, CA) en mars 2019
Entretien
Had a phone screen with recruiter, then a one hour technical phone screen with developer. Did well on it, so I was given a 3 hour time limit coding exercise to do on my own time. Must have done well as I was invited for an on-site interview.
On-site lasted about 6 hours (lunch included). Spoke with 3 developers and 3 non-developers. Questions were both technical and behavioral.
A month after the interview, I was told my position has been cancelled, but I performed well in the interview so they kept my application opened.
A couple of months later, I reached out to the recruiter and was told that there is a new position available. I was then connected with the director and had a brief behavioral interview. I was then offered a position without needing to go through another round of interview as apparently, I did really well during my previous interview.
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.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
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.
