Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Vancouver, British Columbia
Process
Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. I then scheduled a 45-minute technical phone screen, followed by three final rounds of technical interviews, also scheduled for 45 minutes each with different interviewers.
All interviews consisted of roughly 10-15 minutes of chatting with the interviewer about my resume and past experiences, and 30-40 minutes of LeetCode-style questions. The interviewers were all very friendly and supportive throughout the process. They are there to help you, not to stump you.

Tableau Work Experiences
- 4.0Growth Amidst Leadership WoesSoftware Engineer LMTS • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaOctober 21, 2025Pros: The legacy Tableau culture is still around in the community and there are vestiges in the workplace. There is still opportunity for growth in new areas of the product. Salesforce isn't the worst parent company to work for. The in-office culture is good.Cons: Tableau leadership can't figure out if they want to invest in current Tableau or some new Salesforce-native version of Tableau. Most teams aren't in-office, so in-office culture is not with your team, just people in the office (in Vancouver, that is). Random layoffs sometimes to try and reduce operational costs mean long-time people are let go, or long-time people give up and go. Tableau has gone from an engineering-driven company to a sales-driven company. Yes, sales pay the bills, but it's not like Tableau isn't making money.
