Application
InterviewI applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tableau Software
The interview process went as below: Interview R1 - Hiring Manager Interview R2 - Recruiter (discuss compensation expectations) Interview R3 - 4 interviews back to back ( 3 colleagues and hiring manager again) Interview R4 - Hiring Manager's Boss The process went pretty well and got positive feedback. The recruiter informed me that the team was regrouping and redoing the job description/ interview process so I don't believe any candidate was picked.

Application
InterviewI applied through an employee referral The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software
This was one of the worst interview processes I have been through which was a disappointment since I was referred by a Salesforce employee who speaks very highly of the network. I was reached out to by a recruiter following my referral and asked for a quick call to discuss my resume. During this call I was probed with formal competency interview questions without warning or preparation, and it was anything but a call to just discuss my resume. On top of this, the recruiter let me know that they were very far along in the interview process with people who had 'slightly more' experience and they were likely to send an offer in the incoming weeks. I appreciated this transparency, but why interview me then and waste my time by saying this? After this I was invited for an interview with the hiring manager. When I asked for a breakdown of what type of interview this would be (role related, cognitive, etc.) I received a brief one sentence description with no preparation call or much information to go off. Keep in mind I was interviewing for roles in the other big Tech companies in Dublin where a detailed description was provided and an additional preparation call with the recruiter to discuss the information or the process was offered, though I was given enough information that I wouldn't need the call or have questions regarding the interview process. The actual interview went fine, it was your standard interview but not to the caliber you would expect of a company represented by SF. Overall I was deeply disappointed by this process and it would keep me from interviewing for either SF or Tableau in the future.
