Save some time for yourself. It's not worth attending interviews at Thumbtack.

As many other people have told about their interview experience at Thumbtack, they will not hire you unless you have experience at big companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.

Coming to my experience, a recruiter contacted me via Indeed back in October. First, there was a telephonic interview where the interviewer asked me a tough question. I was able to solve it in the last few minutes of the interview. Then an onsite interview was scheduled, which consisted of 5 rounds: 3 coding rounds, 1 design round, and 1 behavioral round.

All 3 coding questions were really tough, but I was able to solve all of them with the best complexity. Even the design question was really tough, and I think I did a good job there too.

After 2 business days, I got a call from the recruiter saying that they were looking for someone with more experience than me. I really don't understand why they interviewed me when they were looking for more experience. My experience is clearly visible from my resume.

Another worst thing: one of the interviewers asked my name and which company I am working for. He did not even go through my resume.

I was shocked when the recruiter told me that they were not giving an offer because I was able to solve all the problems, which were really tough.

As a matter of fact, I got an offer letter from one of the top companies the next week. I would openly admit, my performance at Thumbtack was 10 times better than my performance at the other company interview which gave an offer.

Signed NDA. Will respect that.
