Thumbtack Software Developer interview questions

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!

I applied online and scheduled a call with a recruiter a few days later. Standard recruiting call, giving me an overview of the company, a bit about the role, and information on next steps. Next steps were a coding challenge that's available on their website. I was asked to complete it within a week and submit. I was busy with other interviews, so it took me a couple of days to get to it. I submitted the challenge with the link I was provided by the recruiter, and never heard from them again. Overall this is probably the laziest way of hiring I have ever seen.
