Instacart vs Postmates

I've received offers for Senior Eng roles at both of these companies. Does anyone currently or formerly work at either? What is culture, office environment, leadership etc like? Also, what do senior engineers tend to make at both (base + equity)? Thank you!

What's reasoning behind the suggestion?

The interview process at Instacart wasn't great for me (recruiter went dark after our call and followed up two months later wanting to set up next steps). I judge a company on a few factors which include interview experience since it can be pretty telling about how a company runs. I'd go with Postmate

Instacart, Postmates won’t last

Postmates, instacart would last but workday has no credibility.

No, both of these companies reached out to me. I didn't have DoorDash on my radar.

Happy to put in a referral if you're interested. We're one of the leading companies in the space

Postmates 4.0 star 48k reviews; Uber eats 4.8 star 980k reviews; Doordash 4.8 star 780k reviews; Grubhub 4.8 star 420k reviews. Very competitive industry folks. But Postmates stats is truly an outlier, as you said, “quite unique“.

Only difference is DoorDash is 2x Postmates size and growing 3-4x faster

Are you bragging about raising 2 flat rounds in a row?

Instacart czzd08 Nov 30, 2018

looks like to me, lmao

DoorDash ZH9jRPC7 Nov 20, 2018

There is a reason why DoorDash has raised rounds at a much higher valuation recently - we're the fastest growing business in the space and it is becoming clearer who the winners in the space will be. We are taking market share from all our competitors including postmates

DoorDash ajlX64 Nov 21, 2018

True, but DoorDash 2x Postmates share and growing 3x faster..

Postmates, any idea when you going IPO?
