I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Instacart (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2017
Interview
1. SQL Challenge
2. Case Study
3. In person
I was able to pass the SQL question but "failed" the case study part due to fact that recruiter would not answer any questions at all after they sent out the challenge. The instructions in the email was not clear enough for me and since I did not get a reply from them so I just did it based on my understanding of the question which turned out to be the same as I expected i.e failure. It would be better if they have someone on the other side of answer questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
everything was simple except you can't ask question because they refused to answer any questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Instacart (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
They don't value candidates' time and think that the candidates don't have anything else to work with and thus available for them 24/7. I applied online and got an email by the recruiter 4-5 days after to complete an online assignment and submit it within 1 hour of his sending that email. I was at work that time and I even requested to submit it in the evening if its possible after I leave from work but I never got any reply. i even completed the assignment that evening and submitted and asked them to consider me but no response nothing.
