I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA) in July 2020
Interview
The recruiter (Gianni) was excellent and provided one of the best hiring experiences I've ever had. Process involved written communication with the recruiter followed by a phone screen and then back to back 45 min interviews focusing on product sense and analytics separately with different product managers. Was told at the onset of the process that the final step would have been a case study involving my own past work. Everything was done remotely due to shelter in place from the covid pandemic.
We're glad our interview process was a positive experience for you. We always like to hear when our recruiters are doing a great job. We wish you the best as you continue your job search!

Interview
I met with the recruiter to discuss the role, I have never had such a negative experience with a recruiter before. She was incredibly disengaged, checked out, and overall rude. This was a big red flag for me and I declined to continue in the process.
We're sorry to hear about this. We want each candidate to have a great experience throughout the interview process and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Interview
Recruiter screen, initial interviews w/product sense session, and analytics problem. Second session w/product presentation, another product sense session, and meeting with the hiring manager. Seemed to follow the Google interview format. It was pretty well explained and scheduled with good communication.

Question 1
What would you do if you came to work one day and were told revenue was down? (analytics, what markers would you look for)
