Pros

Truly a remote-first company now with a great work-life balance.

There is a weeklong company shutdown over Christmas and one week in the summer.

The engineering culture is collaborative and focused on continuous improvement. Everyone is always willing to help others.

There is lots of room for career growth, but you have to be proactive about it.

Thumbtack is great about communication and has to be one of the most transparent companies that exists.

Oh, and pay and benefits are right up there with tier 1 tech companies!

Cons

The wokeness and focus on diversity and inclusion are mostly genuine efforts, but can be tiresome at times.

Thumbtack is already diverse with a great culture. A lot of the 'People' efforts seem like distracting solutions looking for problems that don't exist.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing and making decisions based on data and feedback!

As we continue to refine our product, engineering will need to shift more resources to ensuring quality rather than speed of feature buildout.
