My HCLTech Interview Experience – Technical Round (Salesforce Role)
After clearing the Group Discussion (GD) round, I received an email from HCLTech after 10 days, inviting me to attend the Technical Interview (TR) for the Salesforce Developer role.
The interview lasted for approximately 35 minutes. Interestingly, the interviewer did not begin with a self-introduction. Instead, they directly started asking technical questions, mainly focused on Salesforce.
The areas covered in the interview included:
Apex Programming
Basic syntax and structure of Apex.
Difference between Apex and Java.
Use cases of Apex in real-world scenarios.
Triggers
Types of triggers (before and after).
Syntax and use of Trigger.new, Trigger.old.
How to handle recursion in triggers.
Writing bulk-safe triggers.
Flows
Types of flows in Salesforce.
When to use flows instead of Apex.
Use of record-triggered flows.
Flow vs Process Builder vs Workflow Rules.
Other Concepts
Governor limits and their importance in Apex.
SOQL vs SOSL – when to use which.
Real-time examples from projects or scenarios (if any).
