San Francisco, CAPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I ended up going through five rounds total for Salesforce: three online rounds and two onsite interviews.

The overall difficulty was high, and the structure blended DSA with both high level design and low level design.

The onsite interviews were especially telling—they mixed DSA with HLD, so I couldn’t treat those rounds as purely design-focused. Even though I made it through all five rounds, I didn’t feel like it was a simple path; the combination of formats meant I had to be sharp across multiple styles of questions. In the end, I did receive an offer, but it was definitely earned through a long and demanding sequence.
