Interview
- One interviewer was texting during my interview right in front of me.
- I was asked questions completely unrelated to the job or company. It felt almost like they were purposely trying to mess with me. Questions related to high-level math classes that I had taken years earlier such as "tell me what a Taylor Series is" and "what's eigenvalue?"
-No one wanted to get to know me on a personal level and made fake comments as a way to appear "nice"
-After I finished my demo and expressed my surprise with the tough and unrelated questions, I was told I was in a "safe space" where I could "try out the product" in front of my interviewer--one of the most asinine statements I've ever been told
-I was completely mislead on how specific the questions were going to be. The company supposedly knew I had only used Tableau for TWO weeks--they had given me the product key after my initial phone interview--yet they asked expert level questions about the software.
-I later realized that they expected me to devote 100 hours of my time when they only gave me 4 days to prepare for the final round, which is impossible
-I had understood that this was an entry level sales job where, upon acceptance of an offer, the company would fly you out to Seattle for a 2 week training on Tableau. The interview process did not reflect any of these qualities. The irony of this experience was that initially the recruiters were very hands-on--they had me do an initial Tableau project and were good at communicating. They seemed to really like me and thought I was a good fit--KNOWING that I had NEVER used the software before.
-The salary was below 40k (lowest I've been interviewing for) and DMV taxes would render this virtually unlivable--yet they expected the candidate to be an expert in Tableau and rattle off math theorems.
-The word Tableau has become a illness-inducing trigger for me.
-They bragged about company culture but the environment felt hostile if you weren't like them.
-Pretentiously offered me a SmartWater and apologized for it being room temperature.
-Interview room was probably around 90º--yet they wouldn't have cared since 4/5 interviewers were skyped in.

Interview
Interviewed in 2019 for the product consultant role. Interviews included behavioral and take home-style evaluations. Overall, it was a great experience, but the compensation eventually offered was pretty lackluster. Ended up turning it down for a more competitive offer.

Question 1
I can't recall specific questions, but I remember other interview overviews were pretty on-point.
I applied online, product consulting intern. After 10 days, I got an email that the recuriter invited me to have a phone call, saying that discuss with me about my background and skills in detail.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Washington, DC)
Interview
A several step process.
(1) A basic screening over the phone with a recruiter.
(2) An assignment (essentially homework) in Tableau to familiarize with the software.
(3) A phone interview with the Product Consulting Manager, which was still fairly casual.
(4) A 40 minute presentation, done in Tableau, to a team of four managers, with 1-on-1s with each afterwards, each lasting 30 minutes.
This is the whole process. I did not get an offer at the end, which was extremely disappointing considering how much work this interview process was.

Question 1
Questions were tailored to my experience a whole lot, so they asked a lot about my programming background.
