Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Instacart (Toronto, ON) nel mese di lug 2020
Colloquio
one screen phone call. one technical, and then half-day interview. The half-day interview was really exhausting to be done virtually. Your eyes get super tired looking at the screen. Not to mention that there was not even consideration for a washroom break!! When I gave them this feedback, they said yeah we are different than other places...I dont understand... Even google has a 15 min break between their interviews!!
If you get to the final interview you get a few Instacart swags which is nice. They also give a $25 gift card that is only valid if you are based in states!! why do you bother interviewing Canadian candidates!

Colloquio
I had a couple of interview rounds with Instacart. Overall, I think it went pretty well, except for one round that didn’t feel as strong. I asked for feedback afterward, but unfortunately they didn’t share any. The system design and algorithm questions were manageable, especially if you’re familiar with LeetCode-style problems. One thing I really appreciated is that they clearly explain what to expect in each interview round ahead of time, which helps a lot with preparation.

One of the rounds was behavioral — they asked questions based on my resume and also about how I work and behave in a team environment.
Four long rounds and ghosted after the interview, even though all technical assessments went well. Tedious process but they do give you a gift card as a compensation for your time and effort.

Colloquio
2 rounds of 60 min coding sessions, a 1hr break after that, 45 min behavioural round, and then an easy system design round for 60 mins. Questions were pretty straight forward and easy. Second coding round has data structures involved, first one is just parsing thru dictionaries. Could not finish the second part of the second coding round. Behavioural interviewer has a dull personality and sort of killed the vibe. Otherwise I did really well on every round but still didn’t get the offer. Looking at Reddit, seems like many people had the same experience and were surprised to not get the offer so I don’t know if it’s worth your time interviewing here.
