Process

Met with their recruitment team at a University Tech Fair.

The recruiter was amazing and personable, but more importantly, very attuned to recognizing talent beyond a GPA and personality. This speaks volumes about the type of developer they're looking for.

I was contacted the same day to set up an interview for that week, a 45-minute slot with a high-level lead developer. The interviewer was very disarming and relaxing to be around, which is important when whiteboarding solutions. They were succinct and well-spoken about Tableau, their products, processes, development environment, and in communicating my options for development with them.

This was followed up by immediate contact to set up the next steps, which were two phone tech screens a week later.

  • 10 minutes was typical for a general interview: "What do you know about Tableau?", "Tell me about yourself.", "Tell me about your coding/educational background."
  • 30-40 minutes was devoted to whiteboarding a simple, abstract problem, focusing first on an abstract solution, then coding on the whiteboard, and finally testing ideas and proving runability.
