      Best Job I've Had

      Technical lead
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      For the past 4 years that I've been an engineer at Instacart, I've learned more every month than I would have in 6 months at another job. The company is growing so quickly that there are always new problems to solve. Decisions are made based on the merit of the idea rather than the tenure of the person who suggests it. Jerks are not tolerated, and people know how to disagree respectively and constructively with one another.

      Cons

      Because we are growing so quickly, code and processes often break and need to be improved or replaced with something better. This is not frustrating for me because when I see something is broken I know I am empowered to fix it, but I recognize that this job isn't for everybody.

      Challenging, Fast Paced & Amazing Co-Workers

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lots of autonomy to make big change. The company has matured a lot in the last year where we are focused & prioritizing properly. Get to solve problems that haven't been solved before. I cannot say enough about the amazing people I work with. Majority of my friends outside of the office are from Instacart. No one has an attitude & is very humble.

      Cons

      Pay is below market & we need some stronger middle management leaders. Too many first time directors.

      Make a difference in people's lives and change the industry

      Pros

      * Tremendous scope of responsibility- you can have as much impact as you're capable of generating * Colleagues are very humble and smart and well-intentioned * The opportunity we're pursuing is enormous and we are already the market leader with hundreds of millions still in our war chest and vast scope for expansion. We're solving a problem that affects nearly every human

      Cons

      * Teams have wide scope and hiring is behind schedule * Stock options in a pre-IPO company are probably money later, not definitely money now * Some lack of clarity on what management team will look like in 6-12 months
