I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2021
Interview
Very positive and thorough interview experience!
The interviewers were friendly, informative, and set a conversational tone to thoughtfully extract answers and dig deeper where needed. This was a refreshing approach compared to other company interviews, which can often be a barrage of ‘gotcha’ type questions!
The interviewers did a fantastic job of not only getting the answers they needed, but providing information about their role, the company, and how the role I was interviewing for would interact with their departments. Interview types included behavioral/situational, technical expertise cultural fit.
Throughout the multi-week process, I interviewed with 12+ team members within various functions and at varying levels and ended the experience with a very solid understanding of the role, the company, and the teams I would potentially be working with. Throughout the entire process, the recruiting team was exceptional! They set the tone for a warm and people-centric environment, took care of every scheduling detail with flexibility and appreciation, and frequently checked in to address any questions or concerns I had.
At the end of the process, my interview experience reconfirmed what I thought to already be true: this is going to be an incredible place to work!
