      Product Consultant Interview

      10 Aug 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Washington, DC) in Jul 2017

      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.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Tableau Software

      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.

      Product Consultant Interview

      3 Oct 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

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