      Product Consultant Interview

      Jun 9, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Austin, TX) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      An employee referred me; they will schedule a first screening, which is a very low stakes get-to-know-you conversation. If you pass the first screening, they will send a homework assignment that covers tableau's fundamental features (i.e., aggregation, visualizing, trends, creating calculated fields, etc. ). They will supply the company's superstore data set. Next, they will schedule a 30 conversation with the hiring manager. You should be prepared to explain why you think tableau is evolving the universe and bring inspired questions to them. Next, they will schedule an on-site demo of their product along with 2 hours of interviewing. Watch all of the tableau learning videos and handle those tough questions with grace. Don't lie, or make false claims because they will know if you are BSing. I recommend practicing the demo live before going on the site because the environment is very cold, and critical. My recruiter called me two business day after her estimated call back date and said that they thought I radiated positive energy but stumbled on the technical questions. Admittedly, I didn't watch all of the videos; I felt quite nervous during the demo and failed to accurately keep track of the time, but I had assumed they would still work with me; I handled most of their technical concerns. Caveat: Be prepared to practice patience. My recruiter overestimated their feedback date every part of the process; it's not necessarily their fault since tableau is a large company with many moving parts. Scheduling other interviews was much more interesting...

      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

      Oct 3, 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.
