I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2024
Interview
interview process involves a lot of case studies, SQL coding and Python questions. Interviewer will give step-by-step guidance so that it can help you walk through the case. The case is pretty product-focused, will recommend to get to know the app and use it before interview.
Recruiter introduced the team and the company, as well as the hiring process. He did not ask me to go through my resume or have any background questions for me.
Phone Interview: it began from hiring manager introducing herself, then walking through my experience, and ending with me asking questions. The whole process is respectful and full of questions. However, in the process I realized the team's focus was on pricing, an area that isn't my strength.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asking about work experience in my current company, previous company, what do I know about Thumbtack.
Straightforward. Started with a recruiter screen, takehome, and a subsequent panel with the hiring manager.
Did the takehome and got rejected. Asked for feedback and received no response. Poor experience overall. Very disappointing.
