Salesforce Sales Manager interview questions

3 phone interviews, 1 panel interview, 1 presentation. Recruiting was transparent on timing and quick to get back to me. Most important - The vast majority of the interviewers were remote so I never felt like the company was serious about my candidacy or that I could make the best impression. Most of my interviewers were not skilled. The questions asked were all over the place. They tell you to prep for situation questions then ask mostly behavioral questions with a couple of personality questions thrown in. I definitely felt that they didn't know what they were looking for or, if they did, that they didn't know how to get there with questions. The place has a Jonestown vibe. Interviewers are very comfortable asking tough questions but not at all prepared to answer any. When I asked them tough questions they wouldn't give honest answers. I got the distinct impression that they felt someone was going to come down on them if they answered honestly. Imagine a reporter asking a North Korean questions about their country. "Yes, I love the Dear Leader. We have plenty to eat and everything is amazing." That's the kind of feeling I got from them. After getting the bad news I asked for feedback and I got nothing concrete, just that other candidates were stronger. I asked how they were stronger and was given the generic "more experience" answer which read like BS. I pressed to know if they went internal and the recruiter finally admitted they did.

5 rounds: Recruiter, then hiring Manager, then onsite F2F panel, then director, then VP. After passing the panel there is a final round with a Director of a related unit and one very last interview with the regional VP. I successfully passed all screenings and panel. I talked to 7people in total. All was organised professionally until the end, great people, very comunicative, then when it was time to give answers they disappeared. All seemed like i was 1st choice till the very end (according to manager and recruiter). I was invited then for a final quick call with VP, very cold guy with questionable english level and questionable skype connection since i could not hear anything he said. He asked typical silly questions and you better reply with a fake answer you find on google, because my honest informal and instinctive reply did not work. Never heard back from them after months from this call, even after weeks when soliciting info about decision and deadlines. After 4 weeks, only the polite recruiter bothered to finally call me back saying I was still running but apparently VP was not sure our 20minute call so he asked to evaluate more internal candidates and decision was postponed to the week after. One month after that last call i never heard anything, I assume they aired internally of course, the company is so proud of itself, why would they hire an external for a manager role.. But it looks like this professional team does not even bother to give a simple Yes or No answer to a candidate who spent months taking interviews and trips to join them. Makes me think like I would have been just a number in this organization where the hiring manager has no power at all since VP would decide anyways.. I imagine that would be the same for day to day manager's decisions. SFDC sounds full of a great people culture when you read online, then you discover that in fact, they do not care at all and nobody has independence nor decision power, unless at the top.
