I have been working at Rover.com full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
I love working for a company where I feel cared about by my leadership team, excited to work with my coworkers and proud of the team we’ve built. This is arguably the best company I’ve worked for so... far in my career. Also, the move to RSUs has been really exciting — and competitive, from a compensation perspective.
Cons
Consensus building can sometimes slow down decision making
Advice to Management
Maintain your great culture as you grow and mature as a public company
I have been working at Instacart full-time for more than a year
Pros
Instacart is inclusive and warm. In a virtual world these days, it can be weird to start and work anywhere, but Instacart did a good job in bringing me on board Instacart has regular meetings with... the executive level team and everyone is encouraged to ask questions. It’s very transparent and open. I love this. Fidji also seems very genuine. I trust the board Instacart does a good job by its users and I feel like the company’s mission is noble and one I agree with. I’m excited to see how we can change the grocery industry
Cons
Some of the employees at Instacart seem to be there only for the pay check or stock options
Advice to Management
Keep being open and accessible. Continue allowing your staff the chance to ask questions. Continue relaying how the work that is being done relates to the overall goals of the company
