I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Instacart in May 2025
Interview
Applied through a referral. Cleared the recruiter and hiring manager rounds.
Was asked to finish and present a take home exercise. Spent 10s of hours and put a lot of effort into it. Got stood up on the day of the presentation by the hiring manager and was then told by the recruiter the position has been filled.
By far the worst interview experience I've ever had.
Applied online. Process started with an HR review and then a hiring manager screen; still in the process now. Will update once completed. Process has been pretty straightforward so far.

Interview
Hiring manager call, then execution interview
Last round was product presentation, leadership interview, and second interview with hiring manager.
Execution was standard execution interview, and hiring manager calls were mostly focused on ensuring I had right skillset and was a good fit for the role
