Currently a SDE II @ Amazon and I recently got an offer from Instacart to join as Senior Engineer. I think I can make SDE III in a year or two at Amazon, but IC seems like an interesting company with good potential so I was considering making a switch. Going through Blind posts, however, I see so many Instacart people having negative views about IC's prospects. To me that's a big red flag especially at a pre-IPO company. How is the general consensus like at the company? Is there something really wrong with management/culture/metrics? I imagine there's high turnover if it's that bad. I don't see Amazon crushing IC anytime soon in grocery delivery, but maybe people are concerned about the long term game.
Go a step up, not down. Or join a super early stage startup or create your own...don’t do mid tier when you are Tier 1. So...my advice is to stay and get promoted in a year. If you can’t, LC and get out of there.
Lol no. I have seen the people who IC has hired as Head of orgs and director of orgs. Those were rejected for L5 roles at FAang and Uber, hence the comment.
Instacart is dying. Their rev is not an IPO candidate. PM me.
Are you still at Instacart? I would like to get more insights on this comment as I'm about to jump ship.
Def an ipo candidate, like with all startup/ PIPO there are challenges so if you’re looking for a sure thing go to a public company. I find it hilarious that someone from Uber is here talking crap about instacart. Uber has just about every problem instacart has and they’re public
