Rate the responsiveness of Thumbtack to employee reviews.

Did Thumbtack encourage employee feedback?

Most companies claim to work hard, play hard. We do that too (within normal business hours) and we take employee well-being very seriously. Because people do their best work when they’re rested, engaged and well-fed. That’s a fact.

A worthy mission. In a world where tech is often seen as eroding good jobs, we’re helping small business owners thrive. Our product makes entrepreneurship accessible to everyone.

Always be improving. We bring out the best in our colleagues - and our product - by pushing each beyond what we believe we’re capable of. We give honest feedback, even when it’s hard.

Find your happy place. We believe that everyone should love where they work. Some places are just easier to love than others. We’re proud to say we’re one of those places. Starting in 2017, we were listed as one of Fortune’s Top 100 Best Medium-Sized Places to Work in the US, debuting at #55. We’re also listed as one of Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work (2017)."

What makes Thumbtack a great place to work

One of the most closely-held pillars of Thumbtack’s culture is our commitment to asking incisive questions, debating openly, choosing a course of action thoughtfully and locking arms before we move forward. 

We're all about health, happiness, and bringing people together. Every day, employees share breakfast, lunch, and dinner prepared by our in-house culinary team – not to mention healthy, homemade snacks and drinks. Our open floor plan fosters an energetic and collaborative environment. Plus, we have the option of standing desks and a doctor who comes onsite each month for drop-ins and questions. We host weekly yoga classes taught by our very own Thumbtack pros and monthly happy hours (also provided by Thumbtack pros). And don't forget foosball, ping pong, and a stockpile of board games for a little spontaneous friendly competition.

Finally, we care about diversity. Various groups at Thumbtack host a total of 5-10 events each year about celebrating diversity, building inclusive cultures in tech, and fostering a sense of belonging. Each event helps employees learn more about the experiences and perspectives of their peers. Thumbtack also supports resource groups for women in tech, LGBTQ employees, black employees, Latinx employees, working parents, and employees with visible and invisible disabilities.

Thumbtack Welcome Video

Thumbtack was founded in 2008 after the founders were scratching their heads as to why it was so difficult to hire local professionals. They believed that in this day and age of technology, local professionals should be more accessible. Instead of taking a few hours to research, call and compare plumbers, Thumbtack is devoted to making it easier. Now, the company is used by millions of customers each year to find and hire small businesses across the country. The best part is that not only is the company helping busy moms, commuters, homeowners, pet parents and people with big plans, but they're also helping landscapers, painters, personal trainers, dance teachers and entrepreneurs. At Thumbtack it's less about the product and more about building local economies and stronger communities. The company strives to level the playing field so even the smallest company has a chance. "In our industry, you hear a lot of talk about the future of work. What I've come to believe -- because I see it every day -- is that the entrepreneurial spirit of independent professionals is the most precious resource we have as a society. They're the ones transforming the economy. Here at Thumbtack, it's our job to help them get there," said Marco Zappacosta, CEO.        
                                                                                                                                                         Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Francisco, Thumbtack is a local services marketplace that connects customers with the right professionals for anything they need done. This company helps people plan their perfect wedding, families improve their homes, and small businesses grow and thrive.
