Any pointers on how to prepare for Tableau Senior SWE onsite interviews? What’s the expectation?
What was the LC level of telephonic interview ?
Medium + (major part of the interview) Behavioral.
I’ve never seen an LC hard in a senior SE loop - behavioral questions and ‘culture fit’ are really important. If your coding and design questions are on the bubble this will be what pushes you over the edge. If you come off as egotist or a jerk your coding will be disregarded and you will be given a no hire
Nailed it. You can overcome coding issues by ensuring a good cultural fit and attitude, but nothing can overcome cultural fit issues — no matter how much you’ve leetcoded.
What exactly is culture fit? Is it just about not being a jerk? Or tricky behavioral questions?
OP, can you share the general interview experience? What kind of questions did you get from the hiring manager? LC Easy, Medium or Hard? How many questions per interview?
Speaking from my past experience: LC easy / medium type (but not exactly, some variants) and OOP questions (e.g. design elevators or garage), and a HM behavior round (no by the book questions, just chat). YMMV though.
Thanks for the inputs. Did you end up getting the offer?
Yes. But their standard package barely beat MSFT so I didn’t take it.
