Process
Applied online, quick response, and did an initial phone interview.
Thought the interview went well, and they assigned me coding problems in C or C++.
I kicked out the code, which was fully unit tested, and waited for a response.
After two weeks or so, I realized that I wasn't going to get one. Wasn't terribly disappointed - while the visualizations they're building are neat, their software demo is REALLY slow.
Questions
Implement two simple algorithms in C or C++

Tableau Work Experiences
- 5.0Perforce Pain, Free FoodSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeDecember 11, 2018Pros: Tableau has free food and kitchens that are fully stocked, morale events, and all the usual techie perks.Cons: They are working on fixing their desktop product, which is a huge monolithic piece of code and all in Perforce. This makes trying to develop rapidly a huge pain.
- 5.0Great Place to Work!Software Internship • Former EmployeeWest Seattle, Washington, United StatesOctober 14, 2021Pros: Has a really good work culture!Cons: Not many. It recently was acquired by Salesforce, so job opportunities are much more diverse.
- 5.0Tableau is growing like mad. It's fun!Senior Software Developer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesSeptember 22, 2012Pros: Tableau is growing really fast. That is because the tool is so successful. It's cool to work on something that is so well liked by its customers. The development is small enough that everyone on it can still make big contributions.Cons: No cons at this time. As Tableau grows, it will likely lose some of the culture that has, up to this point, made it great, but that hasn't happened yet.
