I applied online. I interviewed at Salesforce (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2026
Interview
Had first call with a recruiter that referred me over to the talent coordinator. He asked only about my current role and deal sizes. He said you are way off from the size of deals for this role they are 50-60k but I can put you through to the interview but good luck you'll have to explain the gap. Got in the interview with hiring manager she told me deals are 10-15k, exactly the size I sell now. 2 days later I get an email asking to coordinate another interivew for a completely different role. I reached out to the talent coordinator again and he said they lost track of my interview in the ATS and that was a mistake invite. One week later I asked for an update and he said the hiring manager wasn't interested and I received 0 feedback. I definitely feel like they lost track of my candidacy and was easier to tell me they weren't interested.
I had a really positive experience interviewing for an Account Executive role at Salesforce.
I was referred by an employee and assigned to a specific hiring manager who was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Every stage was well-structured — I was provided with clear expectations and even examples of questions, which allowed me to prepare properly.
The timing between interviews was very reasonable (about 1–1.5 weeks), and communication was consistent. The hiring manager stayed closely involved the whole time and was genuinely helpful and professional.
Although I didn’t receive an offer and understand I wasn’t the best fit for this particular role, I’m very grateful for the level of professionalism, transparency, and support I experienced throughout the process.
Tough process. Multiple interviews with final RVP on different teams. They didn’t seem interested, almost like they already had an internal hire ready. Waste of time it seemed, oh well.
The process has three stages: first, a recruiter screen; second, an interview with the hiring manager; and finally, a panel presentation as the last round in the overall interview process.
