SalesforceInterview

Status : 2024-Grad, B. Tech from NIT
Position : SDE Intern - 2023 at Salesforce
Location : Hyderabad/Banglore
Date of Offer : 19th July

Online Assessment [ 90 mins - 3 coding questions ]

  • 1 Hard DP question
  • 2 medium level questions

The questions were long and they had a lot of story and it took time to read and understand the question. I solved 2 questions with all test cases passed and third question with 2 test cases passed.

Online Interviews [ 3 Rounds ]

2 Technical - 45 mins
1 Hiring Manager Round - 30 mins

Technical Round - 1st
The interviewer shared a Hackerrank Codepair link. The First question was - Two Sum . This is a very easy question and i wrote the code and explained him simultaneously.
Second Question - This was also an easy question where an array was given and i had to find out first occurrences of the elements (something similar). I gave him a brute force approach then later optimized it using unordered map. He was quite happy and it passed all the test cases.

OOPS Questions [ 15 mins]
He asked me to explain encapsulation and abstraction with real life examples.
Benefits of OOPS, How does map work and internal implementation of map as i had used it in my coding question.
I was also asked if i have used abstract class in my project but i didnt used it.

Technical Round - 2nd

First Question - Balanced Parenthesis [ the question had only one type of brackets]
input - (())(
output - false
I explained my solution and wrote the code.

Second Question - This was a debugging problem and required the approach of multilevel inheritance.
I got confused for a bit but the interviewer gave me a hint and then i answered her questions correctly.

Third Question - Given an array all the occurrences in the array should be unique.
input - [1,2,2,3,3,3]
output - true
I gave her multiple approaches involving unoreder map, set ..and i wrote code for 2 solutions.
overall she was satisfied and asked me about the time and space complexities of each solution.

Hiring Manager Round - 30 mins
Questions i was asked were -

  • Introduce Yourself
  • Give a brief about your projects
  • Why Salesforce
  • How were your previous two interviews
  • Can you tell me a moment when you think you did something very innovative
  • I can see lot of cp achievements on your resume..can you tell me about cp journey
  • What are the values that you follow in your life
  • How was lockdown for you..are you enjoying offline college
  • What do you want to become in future
  • What are your strengths and weakness

I was selected for 2 month [May-July 2023] internship and the result was announced on the same day.

Overall Review-

  • Salesforce doesnt focus on CP candidates and the questions asked in the interview is mostly easy.
  • They focus a lot on their values so prepare for it well.
