I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Salesforce (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I had an employee referral. After applying with the referral, I heard from a recruiter about 3 days later. It was a very fast process. From the time I was in contact to the time I was made an offer it was 3 or 4 weeks. I did a phone screen with the recruiter and was brought in for a face to face with the hiring managers. It was 45 minutes with the two hiring managers and 30 minutes with two teammates. The recruiter will give you some materials to review and hints on how to prepare for the interview. If you follow that you should do okay! It was pretty intimidating but it follow what the recruiter had prepared me for.
The interview process included a 30 - minute phone screen with HR, a 1 - hour interview with the hiring manager focusing on sales experience and CRM knowledge, and a final role - play exercise simulating a cold call to a prospect.

Great experience during 3 sets of challenging interviews. Firstly with the recruiter (30 min call), and then 2 sets of interviews with your hiring manager and with an additional person from the company. Very responsive and quick process as well with hiring manager and with recruiter too.
