      Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 6, 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack in Jun 2022

      Interview

      One of my best interview experience I ever had. The interview initiated by 'Recruiter Call'. My recruiter explained me every thing very clearly and she was so helpful through all time to make it successful. Then there was a 'Technical online interview' with an engineer via Zoom where you are given a problem to solve on HackerRank. Once you pass it, you are scheduled for next round which is 'virtual Onsite interviews' round. These are 4 rounds (3 coding & 1 system design). I enjoyed whole interview process. And then within 48 hours I got my feedback.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack in Jun 2024

      Interview

      One round of recruiter call, the recruiter rescheduled the call 5 times (not exaggerating). when we finally got on the call he sounded unenthusiastic about the company, lots of sighs, even said that he's already in a friday mood (it was a wednesday). Asked me about what I knew about the company, I gave him a high level description, he made fun of me for not giving detailed enough info and not doing my research before the interview.. overall he came of as rude. will not be moving forward with them. He also seemed very stuck on the leveling of the position, this could be a good thing but I've never had a recruiter needing me to have the exact title from my last company, as far as I know, these titles mean different things at different companies.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Aug 29, 2023
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack in Jul 2023

      Interview

      The entire interview process was straightforward and efficient. The recruiter was thorough in explaining the nuances of the role and steps of the interview process during our initial call. After the technical interview (online challenge via Hackerrank), he prepped me for the virtual onsite and made sure I felt confident and prepared. (I'm interviewing at several different companies and many of them don't even offer a prep call or guidance along the way.) This left me with a really positive impression about Thumbtack overall. I didn't receive an offer, but my experience throughout the process was positive and the recruiter said he would let me know if they other roles open where I might be a better fit, which I appreciated. Keeping my fingers crossed to hear from them in the future.

      Application

      I interviewed at Thumbtack (South San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Not great. Would not recommend applying to this company but do so at your own risk. Person interviewing me seemed nice though. They did not seem to know what they wanted from me as an engineer.
