The people that work here are amazing. They are smart, driven, and thoughtful, and most importantly, they are people that you want to be around. Thumbtack is a community, and the culture is awesome. Please spend time with each other because they want to. For example, today our book club met (we're reading "Season of the Witch"--it's great), and we recently started a rock climbing group.
The work is meaningful. Thumbtack has helped so many small business owners grow their businesses, and their stories are inspiring.
The work is flexible. As a software engineer, I have a lot of autonomy and the freedom to work when and where I am most productive.
The company is super transparent.
The perks are great. A yoga instructor comes to the office and teaches a class every Thursday morning. We have an amazing chef who cooks super healthy lunch and dinner every day.
The office is a little cramped and loud right now, but that's because we're growing so much! We're moving into a new office soon.

This was a 5-hour interview, which included mobile (Android) specific questions and an on-site social meal. I met with engineers at various levels and the recruiter. I used my own laptop for part of the review.
