Bad workplace environment and managers negate the positive
Pros
- Great location— right in FiDi - Business outlook is good, simply because businesses/ companies don’t want Amazon to dominate— but there still is a future for Instacart! - Good people: smart, humble, and compassionate
Cons
- Inexperienced managers are common. They had been promoted simply due to longevity, rather than actual knowledge or management skills/ experience. Or they have been promoted, to incentivize employees from leaving - Lack of accountability. We have our core values, yet upper management is not held accountable. They talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk, which undercuts productivity, allows for incompetence to run freely, and misbehavior to go unnoticed. - No culture. Everyone in the company works 24/7. Management rewards people who have no work-life balance and you’re expected to do that. - Recently, there have been many people leaving, ranging from entry level to executives, leaving Instacart short-handed and a little chaotic. - Compensation is lower compared to other tech companies/ startups - If you have multiple offers from other companies, you should take one of the others. Join Instacart is you’re unemployed or if you’re 100% miserable. If you have offers from Facebook, Google Amazon, etc… in all honesty, you’ll regret turning those down for Instacart.
