Task with possibility to get feedback and iterate
It's really good. No CVs, no cover letters. You have to create a data visualisation, submit it for feedback, and iterate on it. Then you're invited in for an interview to present what you made.
Initially, rather than give a CV you submit a tableau data visualisation. If the visualisation shows relevant potential you are phone screened and if you are deemed suitable you move onto the final stage. For the final stage, you are given a dataset to analyse, visualise and present to 3 or 4 company members. After the presentation, you are then critiqued as well as given standard interview questions
The first step is to create a visualization of some data you choose. You publish this online and the company will give you feedback which you can take on board if you want. After this there is a phone screen interview which felt quite informal - where you talk through your visualisation and give and gain some context. Then they send everyone the same dataset and get them to create a visualisation based on that. Next you come into the office to present that to the company and also have another interview.
You'll be asked to submit a piece of work in Tableau Public. From there, you may be asked to iterate and improve. Then you may be advanced to 2 rounds of interviews.
