About the Salesforce Engineering Manager hiring loop

Salesforce interviews lean enterprise-software: Apex, Lightning Web Components, multi-tenant architecture, governor limits. The "V2MOM" framework anchors leadership rounds. Customer-success orientation is scored explicitly.

Engineering Manager rounds score on people-leadership maturity, project-execution rigour, technical decision-quality, and cross-functional credibility. Behavioural depth (real specific stories) is weighted over framework citation.
