Pros

The best group of people I've ever worked with. The are no weak links--from business to data, customer happiness to engineering. Every team contributes amazingly to ever growing success. People are quick to give credit where it is due, act more than talk, and band together when truly challenging situations arise. Instacart has been extremely selective in its hiring process and it shows.

Cons

It's a fast paced environment where everyone is expected to take ownership, produce great work, and do so with a good degree of autonomy. This won't work for some. It's not an easy gig--you will be challenged to think quickly and act decisively, and it can be stressful. For some this is a con, for other's it's a place to thrive.

Pros

I really believe in the trajectory of this company. It is very flat, but there is TONS of autonomy, very transparent, creativity is encouraged, very few rules, "try it and apologize later" kind of attitude. We work super hard, but it's fun.

Cons

Engineers are a bit clicky.

Pros

Local teams are really expected to have a lot of responsibility. Communication amongst team is really good even for remote teams. It's a great environment for hustlers and aspiring entrepreneurs. It's a fun product to work with. The list goes on and on...

Cons

If you aren't a self-starter, this isn't the company for you
