Pros

I have been working at Thumbtack for a year and am very happy with the choice I made in joining Thumbtack!

  • Very user (pro and consumer) focused
  • Really humble co-workers
  • Open and honest culture
  • High bar for shipping features, designing architecture, and investing in infrastructure
  • Data-driven
  • Not afraid to move fast
  • Starts with the assumption that everyone is a rockstar and given very high-impact projects (with mentorship and guidance along the way)
  • Very good growth opportunities
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
Cons
  • Still trying to figure out processes that work best, allowing us to move fast and make the right decisions at the same time.
  • Hopefully, we can maintain the culture and potential of Thumbtack even as we are in this high-growth phase.
  • Although we are data-driven, we still haven't explored the full potential of the experimentation techniques and tools out there. We should invest more in those tools, especially as our product becomes more sophisticated.
Advice to Management

Don't be afraid to take risks and explore crazy ideas.

Keep up the good work of maintaining employee satisfaction, as it is good people who in the long run make successful companies.
