The interview process was moderate, not really up to the mark. The interviewer was busy asking questions unrelated to Salesforce, even though we prepared for Salesforce. The interview was about 20 mins long, which was kind of frustrating. However, 50% of us from our college still got hired.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was pretty simple. The SE manager and a sales manager were both past colleagues of mine so that made the interviewing pretty straight-forward. The interviewing process was not too long or hard it was the internal processes at their end that later held everything up. Some delays with getting the job req approved and filled. Biggest issue came later when they did a bait and switch and offered me a lower graded position (and lower salary) than was originally talked about. I accepted eventually because I hoped it would be a good place to be. But then the manager that hired me resigned during my second day on the job.

Behavioral Technical

It's really based on your attitude more than your skills. We've got plenty of experienced people, but we're looking for trainable folks who can collaborate and get along. You need to have the right attitude, be willing to put in extra effort, and generally have a positive outlook. You'll also need some telecom and facility experience because you'll be working on industry equipment and maintaining the sites.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • When juggling projects and trouble tickets, how do you organize your day? Are you available for on-call duties?
  • Can you share an instance where you had to complete a task or installation without having all the necessary information or expertise?
  • Tell me about a time you dealt with an upset customer. What actions did you take to de-escalate the situation or find a resolution?
