Pros

Free lunch at the office

Cons

Senior leadership is bias against racial diversity. For example the communications team is run by a blonde white woman and the entire comms team is mostly made up of blonde white women. If you are different at all, you are not welcomed at Instacart.

Pros

High Impact Work: cool opportunity to work on a large-scale reaching millions of users was a valuable learning experience. This is the place for you if you enjoy fast-paced environments. Gained experience collaborating with high-profile ppl Chance to work with cutting-edge tools and internally developed systems allowed me to expand my technical skills

Cons

- The relentless influx of urgent requests led to a continuous cycle of task reprioritization resulting high stress and burnout - "Unlimited" PTO Policy: The company’s unlimited PTO policy sounds great on paper, but in reality, it’s poorly managed - leading to unfair distribution of work - It was common for others to take credit during collaborative projects. This lack of recognition was demoralizing and contributed to a toxic work environment where individual contributions were often overlooked - Highly political culture where success often seemed tied to playing office politics rather than merit

Pros

Some, and I mean just some of the employees are decent people.

Cons

I don't use the word sadistic lightly, but this is the perfect environment if you're the type. You get ahead by trashing your fellow employees. Even worse, if you're an insecure middle manager, make the people you hire look like fools due to your own incompetence. I never met such a hateful group in my entire career, and I'm looking to dump this terrible company after IPO.
