Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Opportunity to be independent and work on impactful, cross functional projects

Cons

Engineering org fundamentally devoid of vision and there's a lack of high caliber leadership, starting at the top. Key functions like analytics are not held to high standards, and there is a lack of individual accountability to delivering impact. It's a frustrating environment if you are ambitious and want to make a difference. Culture of performance is lacking, and politics are valued above merit.

Pros

You choose when and how long you work, If you get the Instacart Shopper Card they promote, your earnings are deposited within minutes.

Cons

Before the Iran war, I was making about $10/hour - not that great. Since gas has increased in price, I'm very careful about the jobs I accept so I don't spend $5 or more on gas for a batch.
