Business outlook
Pros
Instacart is a fast-moving company pursuing a long-neglected industry (grocery shopping). The team is incredibly inclusive and everyone's opinions are not just respected, but actively sought after. There are a number of big things in the works which I am looking forward to watching and being a part of in the next 1-3 years.
Cons
Instacart is pursuing a very complex set of problems and is currently understaffed to meet its goals effectively. This problem is not unknown to the executive team and our hiring goals have been set with this consideration in mind. Even so, the hiring team itself is understaffed. I foresee this being one of the biggest limiting factors of growth for some time to come.
