Pros

I've worked at Instacart Corporate for the past ~2 years and have watched the company grow from 40 people to over 300. Throughout that entire time, Instacart has been a great place to work and I don't foresee that changing soon. The work is complex and challenging but also incredibly rewarding and the team is smart and very fun and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Not really a con but, like most startups, Instacart is evolving so rapidly that sometimes all of the changes can be hard to stay on top of.

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.
