Interview
First they call you to start the interview process and will continue calling you as you progress (may take 1+ weeks).
Be yourself and keep calm. Remember to ask questions and research the company, business intelligence, data visualization.
Expect a background check: education, work experience etc.
Work hard at learning the product and building your workbook (I advise several hours minimum). This will get you to the last step - the demo.
Prepare and work hard for the in-person demo. Practice using the product. Anything sales related means that your are expected to ask questions to the 'client'. You need to figure out why they are looking for a BI solution, who they are evaluating, budget, # of users, next steps. If you don't know something say you will check later. The idea is to see you perform in a sales situation.

Interview
Interviewed in 2019 for the product consultant role. Interviews included behavioral and take home-style evaluations. Overall, it was a great experience, but the compensation eventually offered was pretty lackluster. Ended up turning it down for a more competitive offer.

Question 1
I can't recall specific questions, but I remember other interview overviews were pretty on-point.
I applied online, product consulting intern. After 10 days, I got an email that the recuriter invited me to have a phone call, saying that discuss with me about my background and skills in detail.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Washington, DC)
Interview
A several step process.
(1) A basic screening over the phone with a recruiter.
(2) An assignment (essentially homework) in Tableau to familiarize with the software.
(3) A phone interview with the Product Consulting Manager, which was still fairly casual.
(4) A 40 minute presentation, done in Tableau, to a team of four managers, with 1-on-1s with each afterwards, each lasting 30 minutes.
This is the whole process. I did not get an offer at the end, which was extremely disappointing considering how much work this interview process was.

Question 1
Questions were tailored to my experience a whole lot, so they asked a lot about my programming background.
