Pros

I have been with the company for over 4 years and have seen it grow and change. It is a great place to work with amazing people leading the charge. My responsibilities have changed constantly and adapted to the ever-changing makeup of our industry. The number one thing that has kept me at this company is the people and culture. The people I work with and even some I have met for the first time are very supportive and always willing to lend a hand. I have grown a lot at this company and can't wait to see what new and exciting challenges we will face hand in hand.

Cons

At certain levels, there is minimal advancement and growth potential.

Pros

- great market fit and significant growth potential, lot of upside. Don't underestimate Instacart stock options! - extremely challenging and rewarding problems to solve (and huge business returns for solving any of them) - smart, fun and humble people to work with and figure out these problems together. Great people to spend time outside work as well! - open and transparent management - feels good to see consistently growing business numbers in addition to healthy cash position. - inclusive and supportive workplace - given the state and trajectory of the business, experience here will prepare employees to scalably solve challenging problems, and will be tremendously valued!

Cons

- too few engineers to accomplish too many things. Glad to see strong push to hire more. - the company needs to do more long-term bets - Instacart does stock options, not liquid until IPO etc. - there are ambitious goals but less clarity on what the company could be specifically working on 1 year later
