      Product Consultant Interview

      1 Mar 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      In short, this was a horribly unprofessional experience. My initial interviews were great and I felt that everyone I talked to was truly passionate about this company and their product. Unfortunately, in a later interview I was told of the compensation offered for this role and it's much less than someone with experience would expect to make, especially in Seattle. I told the recruiter that I simply couldn't afford to take that big of a pay cut and I didn't want to waste anyone's time moving forward. She then persuaded me to continue the interview process by saying I was so great a candidate that they were considering me for the senior position that made a more reasonable compensation. The interview includes a product demo with Tableau which is great practice for the role, but it does take 10+ hours to put together and however much additional time the individual wants to prepare a presentation. All in all, I took 20+ hours for this final interview including taking an afternoon off of work to go on site. The interview on site was actually really enjoyable. They asked some tough questions around the product but also kept it very balanced between interviewing me and talking about their experience and the role. A few days later I recieved an offer... for the original role, not the Sr. PC position, and there was zero flexibility for negotiation. I talked myself into accepting the lower pay for the short term because of the training involved (which really is fantastic) and the long term potential of the company. The next day, after I've written my farewell emails to my friends and colleagues at my current company (did not send, thank goodness) and I'm readying myself to tell my boss, I get an email to hold off and then later I recieve a call that says they are pulling the offer because I was hesitant when I accepted and they later claimed that it wasn't a real offer and I was confused ... The subject line of the email was Tableau - Offer and said "Hiring Manger is interested in moving forward with an offer!" and " () would like to offer you the Product Consultant role at $x." So yeah, I think anyone would be confused to be told that's not an offer, thank god I was waiting for the paperwork before I told my current boss. I can only speculate, but I'm guessing this had something to do with statistics they're trying to maintain for their recruiting process. So.... overall I really do believe this company is wonderful. Absolutely great product and a very passionate team. This process, however, belongs in a bad comedy.

      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      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.
