Hi All,
I gave Salesforce interviews in July, 2024 for Member of Technical Staff (MTS) position. Interviews were of medium difficulty level..
College: Tier 1 (IIT)
Experience: ~2.5 years

I saw the opening on LinkedIn applied directly on the portal for MTS role and got the test link same day with an email from recruiter to complete it ASAP as they had a hiring drive on 12th July. All rounds happened on the same day.

R1 - DSA
In this round, the interviewer started with an introduction and then asked me to explain my current project. Questions were similar to:

1. Given a dictionary and a character array, print count of all valid words that are possible using characters from the array.
2. Given a snake and ladder board, find the minimum number of dice throws required to reach the destination or last cell from the source or 1st cell. Basically, the player has total control over the outcome of the dice throw and wants to find out the minimum number of throws required to reach the last cell. If the player reaches a cell which is the base of a ladder, the player has to climb up that ladder and if reaches a cell is the mouth of the snake, and has to go down to the tail of the snake without a dice throw.

I was able to solve both the questions. Second question took a bit more time. TC and SC was also expected to be explained properly.

R2 - DSA + LLD

1. https://leetcode.com/problems/sum-of-nodes-with-even-valued-grandparent/description/
2. Design Bookmyshow. (Discuss Requirements, APIs, Entities)

Was able to solve the DSA question with ease and was able to answer and explain my approach properly. For LLD, I think I could've done better. Interviewer was able to point out some flaws in my answers.

R3 - Managerial Round

1. Introduce yourself but without mentioning what's already there in your resume.
2. Explain what work you did in your past experiences.
3. What are your core values?
4. What is your weakness?

This was my first HM round ever. I was a little unprepared for this I guess.

I think overall my rounds went well. Yet to hear back from HR. Called and emailed them but no response. Is it possible that I got rejected in R3 HM round?

Feeling something along the lines of:
He: "Breakup hurts the most.."
Me: "Did you every get rejected in HM round?"

Update 1(last week of August):
Got a call from HR today that I may be mapped to some other team. There will be openings from 1st September. Will be having another HM round.
Update 2 (1st week of Sept):
Expecting a call in 2nd week from the recruiter for an offer.
Update3(2nd week of Sept):
Got the offer letter. <3

Interviews are ongoing at Flipkart and Zepto but decided to go with Salesforce. Will share the compensation in a different post. No negotiations as no competing offer.

Do UPVOTE if it was Helpful.
Thank You
