Technical Behavioral

It was a standard chronological interview. The hiring manager asked basic to mid-level technical questions and was really interested in my knowledge of process documentation and Salesforce developer side, which I didn't have much experience with. He spoke for a long time and I got the offer right away. I got the formal offer letter 3 weeks after meeting with the hiring manager and senior management.

Behavioral Technical

You'll have one interview with 2 managers. They're going to ask a bunch of questions back to back. Some examples include: How good is your Excel? What's your experience with Sales reps? Will you work free overtime? Tell me about a tough client situation. Tell me about a tough co-worker situation. Tell me about a tough boss situation. (Because apparently only 2 of them are any good.)

Confirmed questions1 question

Behavioral Presentation Other

People come in one by one for an interview, so you won't meet other candidates for the same role. Usually, a manager and a future teammate will interview you. First, you'll chat about the company and your role. Then, you'll answer some questions about your skills. After that, you'll spend 15-30 minutes on the floor with the team. If the job requires another language, you'll have a phone chat with someone from that country to check your language skills, which might be a few days later or the same day.
