Opportunity to experience hypergrowth, solve very challenging problems, and grow!
Great market fit and significant growth potential, with a lot of upside. Don't underestimate Instacart stock options!
Extremely challenging and rewarding problems to solve (and huge business returns for solving any of them).
Smart, fun, and humble people to work with and figure out these problems together. Great people to spend time outside of work as well!
Open and transparent management.
Feels good to see consistently growing business numbers in addition to a healthy cash position.
Inclusive and supportive workplace.
Given the state and trajectory of the business, experience here will prepare employees to scalably solve challenging problems, and will be tremendously valued!
- Too few engineers to accomplish too many things. Glad to see a strong push to hire more.
- The company needs to make more long-term bets.
- Instacart offers stock options, not liquid until IPO, etc.
- There are ambitious goals, but less clarity on what the company will be specifically working on one year later.
Great to see planning get more strategic and long-term, as opposed to tactical like it was until a few quarters ago! I would love to see more of this.
Awesome to see a lot of things in the works of late that target to achieve a better overall shopper experience. I would love to see these prioritized even more.
