Opportunity to experience hypergrowth, solve very challenging problems and grow!
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
