I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Austin, TX) in Jul 2025
Interview
Well run, transparent. Recruiter then hiring manager. A surprisingly pleasant experience! I didn’t get an offer but I got a lovely, very personalized email from the recruiter saying to keep trying and they liked me but not for this role. Compared to every other recruiting experience I have had, this was great. Clearly a focus on fit during the interviews.
Applied the application online. Got the call from recruiter then the next rounds like Hiring Manager, Technical discussion, panel rounds with business, partners and presentation are scheduled for 3 weeks. i have joined on last week.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Salesforce in Apr 2025
Interview
After three interviews and months of conversation, the recruiter ghosted me despite multiple follow-ups directly to them. I am totally fine with hearing I didn't get a job, but tell me, even through an automated email. I had to check my application on Workday to find out (months into conversations with them) that I was unsuccessful.
You would think a company like Salesforce would have integrity and care for their employer brand at the least, and set the standard for a recruitment process at best, but unfortunately this was not the case. Never have I experienced such disrespect in a recruitment process.
Expectations were set by a recruiting team that weren’t followed through on and being rejected passively with zero communication was disheartening and unprofessional - especially after investing significant time and energy.
A brief note (automated or not) to close the loop goes a long way, especially when a candidate is this far into the process. Salesforce was my dream company and one I had been working towards my whole career, but I will not be applying again - this experience speaks to the culture and I'm glad I seem to have dodged a bullet.
