Tableau Software Technical Support Engineer interview questions

Three hour interview. Met with 6 people in all. They seemed like nice enough people and the interview wasn’t that difficult. A technical “test” you take on a computer where you just input answers to technical questions. An interview with a lead (or manager, I forget) an interview with two managers and then an interview with the head of the department. Had a good feeling I didn’t get it because I got a very strong feeling of a “bro”-culture (which I don’t fit into at all) and a feeling that there was a lot of elitism and exclusionary practices. I’ve worked at much more important companies that didn’t feel like they had to flex their importance like Tableau did. It really felt culty and judgmental at the offices and in the interview. I Knew I hit the nail on the head when I received a form rejection letter from, literally, no one, but a tableau email address. TL;DR - The entire experience can be summed up as an image of a kind stranger who’s a little too kind... he points at something, you look, and there’s his chance to put the knife in your back.

- Started off with a phone call with HR who asked some basic questions on your current role, salary, salary expectations and some technical questions. Technical questions included describing ping, traceroute, what SQL stands for, difference between drop, delete and truncate. - Next stage involved a 1hr technical interview with two tech leads. Lot's of networking questions/theory, SQL queries and a DB troubleshooting question. - After the tech interview was a 1:1 interview with one of the managers consisting of your standard behavioral questions. The manager I was assigned spent more time looking outside the glass meeting room and never making eye contact. Didn't feel very comfortable and felt like I was falling on deaf ears. Overall experience was great except for the 1:1 with the manager.
