I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at nCino in Oct 2023
Interview
First stage was a relatively straight forward online assessment consisting of some multiple choice questions on programming and debugging code. Next was a recruiter call asking about company fit. After that were two calls with engineers to talk about previous experience and team fit.

Interview
Programming fundamentals (concepts like inheritance, big O runtime) and debugging OA followed by a 30 minute phone screen. Was told I would be contacted again in about a week if I passed, was rejected a few months later.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What made you seek out your past experience (referenced resume)
They first email you a test with around 10 multiple choice and 1 coding problem (leetcode easy). Was not hard at all but not free either. Then they will email you and setup a date for a "final interview" that's 50 minutes. There are no regular behavioral questions, they just ask you to tell them about yourself and then ask about your favorite class and projects you work on. The technical part is the most trivial thing ever. I expected more in-depth OOP questions like design patterns, etc. All they ask are things along the lines of:" what does the keyword:"this" mean in a class", and "what's the difference between a superclass and a subclass". Another one is "What's the difference between a class definition and an instantiated class". If you have done any OOP it's very trivial. Seems like they don't care what you know more about who you are because there's no real skill ceiling to the questions. Since they don't tell you anything about the job, this is what you will be doing salesforce (apex). They also like to drag you along for about a month before telling you if you get accepted or not. My tip would be to have some amazing story or something because they don't seem to care about what you know.
