Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience
Process
There was an OA.
This was followed by two interviews scheduled back-to-back:
- One with the Hiring Manager (HM)
- One with a member of the technical team
The HM round was more behavioral, where I was asked questions related to my past experience.
The technical round was pretty interesting, with questions on both coding and theory.
The interviewers in both rounds were super helpful and friendly, which automatically gave me the confidence I needed to perform well.
The recruiting team has also been very accommodating, and I am excited to join the team, given my positive experience interacting with the people I'll potentially be working with.
Questions
Questions on my past projects and on conflict resolution in the HM Round.
Questions on Software Engineering fundamentals and pair programming in the Technical round.

Tableau Work Experiences
- 4.0Good Pay, Messy MergeSoftware Engineer (Internship) • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaDecember 13, 2020Pros: Great benefits and pay Friendly staff Okay transparencyCons: Typical large company overhead. Things are a little messy given the merge with Salesforce.
- 1.0Good Balance, Toxic PoliticsSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaNovember 12, 2021Pros: - Good compensation (less true after the Salesforce acquisition) - Good work/life balanceCons: - Out-of-control politics due to a tolerance of jerks and managers who, following the example of top executives, are willing to listen to employees but think their responsibility ends with listening. - Lots of bureaucracy, especially since the acquisition. - Inconsistent employee quality since they don't seem to fire anyone. This is especially true for employees with longer tenures, as compensation plummets once the initial stock grant has vested, so most competent folks leave at that point. - Hypocrisy from upper management, who seem to believe that company values are only for rank-and-file employees.
- 5.0Great place to work!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 23, 2011Pros: Great people, great product, great customers. Engineers are all very smart. Marketing, sales, and engineering all work together. Management is smart and cares about the company and the people. It is a pleasure to work on something that people love to use.Cons: It is a second-stage startup. This isn't the place to go if you want to start in a garage. However, there is plenty of growth potential also.
