There are 4 rounds for the summer interns. 1. phone screening from the hr, go over the resume and introduce the internship program; 2. online assessment that takes about 1 hour on a problem related to the company's work; 3. phone technical interview that takes about one hour, one coding question; 4. on-site interview (final round).

Other Software Engineer(Internship) interview reviews for Thumbtack
I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
After you apply, you'll be sent an online assessment. Mine was 2 questions, both string parsing. First one passed, second one was extremely involved and I didn't finish it, but still got through to the next round. Then a recruiter will reach out via email so you can schedule a technical interview. The interview is (I believe) 60 minutes, but may have been. 45, can't remember. You log onto a shared code pad, the interviewer describes the question, you code live while talking through it on the phone. Can choose pretty much any language. Must create your own input/test cases. You have whatever time is remaining to ask questions/talk to the interviewer.

Question 1
Online assessment was all string parsing. Tech interview was a simple graph problem.
They were very nice. I spent a day at the office. Had a few technical interviews and chatted with the cofounder. Technical interviews need to compile during the interview. Their food was delicious. Free Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I applied online. I interviewed at Thumbtack in Feb 2021
Interview
Have a question about iterator and a follow up. Solve both of them with proper communication. Still got a rejection. Can 't figure out what is wrong. Maybe it's just because the position has already been filled.
