Pros

Awesome group of smart, motivated, fun people Industry leading product/service with huge growth and potential Opportunity to take on significant amount of responsibility and shape the growth of the company

Cons

Definitely a huge work load per person but the impact of that work is huge & motivating Don't join if you aren't comfortable (and motivated) by ambiguity and constant change

Pros

Each employee is given a huge degree of autonomy and responsibility and empowered to create positive change in his or her own way. Good ideas become policy in a heartbeat. Ideas that don't work are just written off as R&D. The company is a community of brilliant and exciting people who constantly innovate and collaborate. The city teams throughout the country are expertly connected via digital channels and quickly become trusted colleagues despite limited face time. Goals and benchmarks are made extremely clear upfront and the proper tools are provided to meet them.

Cons

Health insurance policy carries higher out-of-pocket costs than some. Equity stakes are not terribly competitive.

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.
