Pros
- There are some very nice people. - Instacart employee discount is good. - New CEO is really trying to change the culture in the right way.
Cons
- It is ABSOLUTE pure chaos. All lines of business run in silos and teams have no idea how to effectively work together. - NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. Most emails get sent after "regular working hours" which makes it extremely hard for working parents. We are expected to live and breathe Instacart. There is no "leading by example" because this type of behavior is coming from the top. - There is a clear separation between Hackers and all other teams - and not in a good way. - Compensation is laughable. They are not competitive with other roles and companies in the SF Bay Area. They rely heavily on equity which hopefully will be worth something soon, but all other SFBA companies make overall cash value competitive. - Leadership churn. Lots of leadership (S-Team, Director and above) have recently left. Those who are left are struggling and it's very visible. - Everything is P0 so we are always scrambling.
