I interviewed at Instacart (Philadelphia, PA) in Jul 2019
Interview
Received an invite to pick times for a phone interview. Recruiter was 13 minutes late in calling. No respect for others time. Very difficult to hear as it sounded like the person was in a tin can. Barely told me about role. All over the place with replies and totally disinterested. Lastly, told me about benefits and unlimited PTO. And wrapped it up by saying “ok well, you’ll get an email saying we want to move forward or an email saying sorry NO!” Did not allow me to ask questions and just cut me off. Super unprofessional and rude. I’m all set Instacart.

Question 1
describe a difficult situation you encountered with a customer
Phone interview followed by a data set analysis challenge. Very straight forward and easy. I wasn’t selected, and in the email the recruiter stated if I wanted any feedback to let her know. I reached out (I like learning what my weaknesses are, what they didn’t like, etc.) She never bothered to respond back. Poor look on the company.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Instacart (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2019
Interview
They were super friendly and helpful all throughout. Very standard "marketplace" process (e.g. Uber, Instacart, DoorDash). The steps were 1) recruiter phone screen, 2) take-home exercise (24 hours, they give you a dataset), 3) interview with the hiring manager (talked about my experience, a behavioral question, and a small case-like question), 4) interview panel with 5 people.
