Tableau Software interview questions

Typical phone screen with recruiter, then technical phone screen. On-site with 6 interviews (panel of 2 each), 1 was a lunch interview. The recruiter was responsive to emails, and scheduling was handled well. The interview questions were not especially difficult, BST, Graph problems, system design, etc. Do yourself a favor and read other people's experiences interviewing with this company. You might think you did well, but there's a good chance you will get rejected. They won't give any reason why, and I guess that makes sense. You most likely need to stand out compared to the standard answers that they hear, especially for a senior level role. The company values culture just as much as technical proficiency, so make sure that you fit that mold before applying as well.

My resume was passed on to their HR department. After a short phone chat with the recruiter, I was scheduled for coffee with the hiring manager. Had a good chat with him and was asked to come in for half-day interview with various team members. Also got a homework assignment -- related to one of their products, I was asked to come up with some ideas and a rough UI prototype. It was suggested that I'd spend 2-4 hours on the homework. I estimate I spent a bit over four and was fairly satisfied with the results. The interview itself consisted of meeting 4 different pairs of people. First pair were from the engineering team. Next two groups were other UX and user research, then finally a meeting with the hiring manager and another UX manager. Everyone was very friendly and engaged in the interviews. I was thrown off a bit because absolutely no one mentioned the homework assignment. There was also very little discussion of my background and resume except with the hiring manager. All the other interviews were whiteboard design exercises. These were pretty abstract problems, not at all related to Tableau's software. All interviewers offered suggestions and asked questions as I walked through my process. I felt the interviews went ok, though not great because I had prepared for topics that never came up. After a delay, I eventually heard back from the recruiter that they decided not to make an offer. While everyone was nice, I was disappointed that after asking, I didn't hear when I requested feedback on the interview.
