Consider, but definitely evaluate further

Pros

Identifying a more efficient and convenient way for people to receive and order their groceries is a great concept. There are many people who can and do benefit from this business model. Working with people who want to get stuff done in a fast paced environment forces you to think on your feet. You're really pushing yourself to just go and figure it out later. Good pay.

Cons

Highly reactive environment filled with leaders and managers who either don't really care about leading and managing, or haven't been trained. Or both. Lack of culture and constantly being biased towards action can be challenging when other startups out there are boasting the same perks and career opportunities (but are doing it better). Poor choices made by supposedly some of the more tenured members of leadership are questionable.

Pros

Great team but not a lot of structure, nice people around the office, casual, good work/life balance

Cons

Lack of transparency, communication doesn't seem to be a priority, culture changed and was not preserved after hyper growth, no clear definition of career advancement, happy hours can become rowdy and borderline inappropriate Some of the management have favorites and some people get away with not working much while others are working extremely hard. The company is not doing a great job in retaining its employees in some key areas like engineering.
