Don't join Instacart

2d 105 Comments

Total shit show - worst move of my career. Get the offer and use it to negotiate but don't join. Everyone on Blind said it was overvalued but I liked my team so I joined, what a mistake.

Old heads actually hate new joiners, IPO will never happen, cash comp is not competitive, $24B valuation is still too high, WLB is terrible, code base is not good, our CEO has no logistics experience, the president left after 3 months, and the founder was forced out.

If you could see our internal Blind you would not sign the offer letter - 60% of people who joined in the last year say they're leaving on their first vest date in May.

TC after $24B: $330
Real TC: 🥜
