I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tableau Software in Aug 2012
Interview
Applied online, quick response, did an initial phone interview. Thought the interview went well, and they assigned me coding problems in C or C++. I kicked out the code which was fully unit tested, and waited for a response. After two weeks or so I realized that I wasn't going to get one. Wasn't terribly disappointed - while the visualizations they're building are neat, their software demo is REALLY slow.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Interview process was typical as other companies. One phone screen and then on-site interview.
I had 4 technical rounds and questions were of average difficulty.
Even though the interview went well, I did not receive an offer. They did not provide any specific feedback as it was their company policy.

Question 1
Questions were of average difficulty level. It is hard to guess what they are actually looking for.
