Don't Believe the Hype!

Pros

I guess there is a certain prestige working at a unicorn with a sexy brand (at least from the outside looking in).

Cons

I'm not sure where to start here. The culture is a bit toxic and it all comes from the top. With a high quality team and competent execs the company could probably have a bright future.

Huge Impact and Ownership

Pros

I work in engineering at Instacart. I've found it is a rare place where you can utilize both big datasets and user research to create something new and great! A lot of ownership here, which is good for people who like to build.

Cons

The company is beginning to mature and grow, offering more stability but obviously leads to communication issues. Management knows about it and it will get better soon! Smaller groups within engineering like design and analytics teams haven't been able to hire as quickly as engineering or product management and can lead to being resource constrained or blocked.

Pros

The team at Instacart is super talented and committed to providing the best value for our customers. People have empathy for every type of customer we serve and understand that we are giving people back their invaluable time to spend it with the ones they love.

Cons

Meeting etiquette could be better. Diversity in leadership could also use some love.
