I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Coding Challenge -> Phone Interview -> Final Round On-site
The recruiting team was excellent in response time as well as coordinating schedules. The final round had more company specific questions that were interesting in that they gave me a deeper insight into possible algorithms used in their product itself. They were very quick to send me an update after each section of the interview process.
It sounds like you had a pretty great experience. We're so happy to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to leave this overview, and welcome to the team. :)
Other Software Engineer(Internship) Interview Reviews for Thumbtack
I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
After you apply, you'll be sent an online assessment. Mine was 2 questions, both string parsing. First one passed, second one was extremely involved and I didn't finish it, but still got through to the next round. Then a recruiter will reach out via email so you can schedule a technical interview. The interview is (I believe) 60 minutes, but may have been. 45, can't remember. You log onto a shared code pad, the interviewer describes the question, you code live while talking through it on the phone. Can choose pretty much any language. Must create your own input/test cases. You have whatever time is remaining to ask questions/talk to the interviewer.

Question 1
Online assessment was all string parsing. Tech interview was a simple graph problem.
They were very nice. I spent a day at the office. Had a few technical interviews and chatted with the cofounder. Technical interviews need to compile during the interview. Their food was delicious. Free Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Interview
Have a question about iterator and a follow up. Solve both of them with proper communication. Still got a rejection. Can 't figure out what is wrong. Maybe it's just because the position has already been filled.
