Interview
I applied online by submitting my resume and cover letter. About a week later then I was accepted to interview using a web cam. The web cam interview process asked several questions, but most of the questions related to technical knowledge and background. I believe I was not selected for further interviews because my technical background in databases is not extensive enough.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2012
Interview
The interview started out with a recorded answering session. I had to record videos for 5 questions on a website. I got a call from the recruiter the same day for a initial phone interview. She explained to me the job requirements and asked me why I was interested. Next I had to do an example for the company to review to see how well I can learn a new product. She called me the next day and scheduled an on-site interview. This company takes the interview very seriously. The on-site interview was 4 hours, involving everyone from the future peers to manager to VP of the division. They really respect their candidates compared to many other tech companies in Seattle area.
