Long and thorough process, but learned a lot about the company at each step. Started with phone interview with the recruiter. Then proceeded to do exercises in Tableau and turn in a final workbook product. After that, had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Next, was a demo to a panel. The final stage was a presentation and 1-1 that were face to face. The rest was via webex or the phone.

I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2016
Interview
i went to Seattle and met with 7 different people. Each round was 2 on 1. I felt very at ease. There were no trick questions or gotchyas. It was a pleasant experience
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tableau Software in Aug 2015
Interview
The process gave me a good sense of the company, role, and team. I had a lot of opportunities to ask questions and determine if Tableau was a good fit for me, my skills, and development goals.
The process was as follows: Recruiter phone screen, challenge questions to be answered in Tableau Desktop, phone interview with hiring manager, demo with panel, one-on-ones with panel participants.
If you're legitimately interested in the product, company mission, and have a compatible background Tableau is an awesome place to work and the interview process is demonstrative of these facets.
