Very haphazard. Very little structure and the hiring managers were rushed and rude. I take it this had something to do with the Salesforce acquisition. They seemed pressed to perform / prove themselves.

The recruiter was very nice and helpful throughout the entire process. The discovery process is quite lengthy but very useful in prepping for the strategy presentation if you ask the right questions. Overall, a Director level interview was as follows: - Initial phone screen with recruiter (45 minutes) - Initial discovery interview with VP of Solutions (60 minutes) - Discovery interviews with Sales VP and Solutions Sr. Director (60 minutes each) - Two discovery interviews with Manager-level direct reports (60 minutes each) - Half day at regional office for in-person with VP of Solutions, and five interviews with Solutions team (45-60 minutes each) - Strategy presentation to senior leadership (60 minutes) The strategy session requires a significant amount of prep. You will be conducting a SWOT analysis and making recommendations on how they can improve their business operations, grow their teams, and partner with their customers to increase recurring revenue. You will get detailed analytical questions throughout the presentation, so plan to take the time to be thoughtful in what you put on the slides, as they will definitely look for confidence in the findings and recommendations. I made it to the final round, but did not get an offer. Although I thought I made a compelling case, they clearly know what they are looking for. I learned a lot and met a lot of cool people in the process.

I have had 2 interviews prior to an interview day. During the interview day, I had 4 interviews and conducted a product demo/sales call myself. Besides the obvious initial questions, the interviews turned into very good discussions on visions, view on the business, challenges & opportunities and the various approaches that Tableau and "us", being the interviewer and myself, could adopt. It was very stimulating to have get to such level of discussion with mutual points of view during an interview. This was not about company politics and personal interest of each individual. On the contrary, I felt that everyone around the table was engaged, interested to come to new insights and enjoying the discussion.
