Entretien
The recruiter gave me a take home coding challenge, upon completion they gave me a technical phone interview. It was a question that requires correct data structure to achieve good performance. I was then invited onsite. There were 3 coding interviews (1 using laptop), 1 system design, and 1 behavior interview, and lunch with the founder. Everyone was very friendly and enthusiastic about the product they are building. The questions are not difficult and the interviewer will help you. I was told the interviews went well but they wanted someone with more experience / senior role. Overall the interview process is very smooth and I enjoyed talking with the engineers. It's an amazing company constantly making improvements to make their product better. The hiring team is very responsive too, best interview experience I had so far!

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.

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.

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.
