Entrevista
The interview had 5 parts (recruiter, team lead, systems design, programming, onsite).
I declined after the second interview with the team lead because each of my responses was met with condescension.

Entrevista
Two phone interviews consisting of one coding exercise and a Linux troubleshooting interview. This was followed by onsite interviews at the Thumbtack office in SF.
Recruiter was very prompt, and would always get back to me within a day or two. It was a very smooth process, and a positive experience.

Phone screen with a live coding question followed by an on-site interview.
Thumbtack has one of the nicest offices I've ever visited. The on-site interview questions were not difficult. The coding question was easy and fair, though I could not finish it in the time given. I may have talked too much before the question was given, depriving me of valuable coding time.
There was a troubleshooting session involving a very unlikely scenario. I thought it was absurd but as the interviewee I played along. The interviewer probably had the intention of measuring your system knowledge. In my personal opinion, the question did a bad job of that and just measured your knowledge of system trivia. The other interview sessions were fair.
