I was referred by an acquaintance who worked at Tableau.

I went through two hour-long phone screens, which involved medium-level LeetCode-type problems.

Next, I was flown out to Palo Alto for an on-site interview.

The interview process included:

• Whiteboard coding interview
• Design interview
• Lunch with the manager and another interviewer
• Two more whiteboard coding interviews

The interview was difficult, but I thought I did well at the time. As I later found out, I received all but one vote from the interviewers, so the company went with another candidate who received all "yes" votes.

I was interviewed by the same team that I would have been working with if I were a better engineer.
