Instacart Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Our package is competitive and our benefits are really all-encompassing

Review from Communications Dept

The total package- base, equity and benefits.

Review from HR Dept

The best part of Instacart's perk package is the paternity and maternity leave.

Review from HR Dept

Flex First and Remote working opportunities

Review from HR Dept

I think my cash compensation is competitive compared to market in my geography.

Review from HR Dept

Well compensated to market for my role

Review from HR Dept

Unlimited PTO, 4% of salary RRSP matching, overall remote flexibility

Review from HR Dept

base and equity are fair

Review from Communications Dept

I feel like my equity grants teflect my dedication and performance.

Review from Executive Dept

salary and self-checkout time is great

Review from HR Dept

mental health benefits offered here

Review from HR Dept

this is a weird question... it's the money, anyone who says anything else for their favorite part of their compensation package is lying.

Review from Communications Dept

Addtiinal funds to be used at the employee disgression

Review from Legal Dept

The amount of sign on RSU is good and fair

Review from Engineering Dept

The RSUs are competitive and keep me invested in the company's success.

Review from Engineering Dept

The additional monthly perks in the total comp are really amazing.

Review from Finance Dept

We have amazing benefits, like the Lifestyle Reimbursement and our Cheers program that awards people for recognition!

Review from HR Dept

Many resources for all types of people, ages, interests

Review from Sales Dept

Treat yourself program and RSUs

Review from Operations Dept

The Treat Yourself Program - provides us access to many different amenities

Review from HR Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation is on the low end in the market for my role

Review from Customer Success Dept

Our annual equity refreshers are on the low side in comparison to what I've heard in the market

Review from HR Dept

A pay that aligns with the current economy and inflation would help.

Review from Customer Success Dept

A higher wage as its hard to afford living with two jobs let alone just this one

Review from Customer Success Dept

I feel that the rate paid in my region should be evaluated. Single parents of 2 in the Atlanta market would need to make at least $26.55 entry level to be sufficient which make me believe that I am undervalued due to me being a hard worker but being unable to earn a living wage.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I feel like we're paid fair, but it's below the general tech market.

Review from Finance Dept

While equity is a bit variable because of the markets, it is a deciding factor in joining the company. There haven't been adequate top ups that would bring my market rate back in line with other opportunities.

Review from Engineering Dept

I do not feel undervalued. The pay should only be more because of economic reasons

Review from Engineering Dept

as it is not competitive

Review from Engineering Dept

I felt I was under-leveled when hired, and the pace to my rightful level which follows the promotion procedure did not work out smoothly even though I have already been delivering impact on that level consistently

Review from Engineering Dept

IC stock needs to start going on an upwards trajectory.

Review from Engineering Dept

Stock performance is a major issue.

Review from IT Dept

No liquidation at the moment

Review from Engineering Dept

Higher salary/bonus split, comparable to Growth and Strategic

Review from Sales Dept

Other people who are "below" my pay grade/position are earning the same if not more than I am.

Review from Finance Dept

sometimes it is forgotten that you can not provide 100% to everyone in your team and sometimes you are left to feel (by others not my current situation) that you should give 100% and no errors should be made,

Review from Sales Dept

Everytime you think you could get promoted, they restructure the org and put you back at the bottom of the pile.

Review from Operations Dept

In comparison to our competitors (Amazon, Uber, Drizly, etc) Account Managers are underpaid at Instacart.

Review from Sales Dept

We have low pay compared to peer companies. Additional benefits (e.g. gym membership) would also boost company morale

I would appreciate more transparency in compensation and understanding of how total compensation is calculated at different levels
