Process

After applying, I was quickly called by the recruiter. He was fair and open in asking for the relevant information he needed. He was also fair in explaining the whole process and quick in responding afterward.

I was then quickly called for an onsite interview. Note that there was no telephonic interview.

My experience with the onsite interview was not as smooth as I expected. During the interview process, I decided not to join the company. Here is the reason:

While in the interview, the interviewer told me that he expected me to work more with Tableau software. I did not expect this response during the interview, as there was no such expectation set when I spoke with the recruiter. I think the company does not want people who are passionate about technology, but rather people who have already worked extensively with the software and know it in depth, so that it saves their time in training the person.

Questions

How much have I dug deep using the Tableau software?

I hope you have dug deeper and used the product more.
