Pros

* Tremendous scope of responsibility- you can have as much impact as you're capable of generating * Colleagues are very humble and smart and well-intentioned * The opportunity we're pursuing is enormous and we are already the market leader with hundreds of millions still in our war chest and vast scope for expansion. We're solving a problem that affects nearly every human

Cons

* Teams have wide scope and hiring is behind schedule * Stock options in a pre-IPO company are probably money later, not definitely money now * Some lack of clarity on what management team will look like in 6-12 months

Pros

*Leadership is willing to promote internally and makes a conscious effort to develop its employees *Great learning opportunities- Instacart has an abundance of interesting projects to work on. *I met awesome people while working here and made lasting friendships. *Solid benefits, good food, and a convenient office location located near a lot of public transport

Cons

*Instacart operates in a complex space; it's beholden to tens thousands of shoppers, and a growing number of retail and brand partners. It has limited control of critical components of its service, such as availability of items in stores, or availability of new shoppers in key markets. *Work-life balance is poor on certain teams. Instacart's leadership cares about employees and is making an effort to improve this but a lot of teams are spread thin.
