Salesforce Interview Experience (On-Campus)

Round-1 (OA) (>200 applicants)

• The first round comprised three programming questions, I can’t remember the questions correctly, but they were based on – 1st q: greedy, 2nd q: bfs on matrix, 3rd q: min heap with dp
• Suggestion: I would suggest practicing medium and difficult questions on Leetcode and reading some standard algorithms from Geekforgeeks.

Tips: Solve the questions with a calm mind. Try to finish early, as it would give you an edge over other candidates.

Round-2 (Technical Interview Round-1)(15 shortlisted)

• I was asked to introduce myself.
• Then he asked about my previous internship, which I did in Samsung R&D, and also mentioned in my introduction.
• Then he discussed the projects written on my resume. Asked some standard questions like, why you did this instead of that, what challenges did you face etc.
• Started with the DSA question, which was a greedy-based question, I gave a brute force approach first with n^n complexity, he then asked me to improve it, then I came up with an n2 solution and he was satisfied with that.
• Lastly, he asked if I have any questions for him.

Tips: Remain calm, start with a naive approach for any question, and improve it from there, also thinking out loud is very important.

Round-3 (Technical Interview Round-2)(9 shortlisted)

• Again, introduction and discussion on all projects.
• I was asked to explain the approach which I followed for all three questions in the OA round.
• She asked from which topic would you like to get a DSA question from, I said any is fine, Then she gave me a question based on heap, first told her a naive approach, and then she asked me to improve it. I came up with a nlogn solution and she was satisfied with it.
• Then she asked a few questions on the heap and ended the interview by asking if I had any questions for her.

Tips: You should know each and every word of your Resume. Always ask some questions from the interviewer when given the chance.

Round 4 (HR Round)(6 shortlisted)

• Person taking the round was an alumni from my college only, so it was a chill round.
• Asked to introduce myself.
• Some standard hr questions: weakness, strengths, what do you know about the company etc
• Lastly asked if I had any questions from him.

Result: Selected for the internship out of the other 4 who also got the offer.
