Why Instacart

Instacart calls its working model Flex First, and the default really is flex.

The company puts a written commitment behind it, stating, "Regardless of how you choose to work, Instacart is committed to providing an equal playing field for everyone. We're focused on removing office-centricity and proximity bias in everything we do and providing consistent career opportunities for all employees, no matter where they're based."

The culture frames itself as "Go Far Together," with a stated belief that you'll do in two years what might take five at another company.
