I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Instacart (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
1 - 30 minute call with the Hr, very nice person. 2 - Data analysis assignment (pretty challenging) . 3 - 30 minute call with Hiring Manager to present the answers of my assignment. I didn't make it further than that, but they were nice enough to give me feedback about why they were not moving forward with me. That helped me understand and I actually agreed so it made the whole "rejection thing" a lot easier. Thanks!

Question 1
describe a difficult situation you encountered with a customer
Phone interview followed by a data set analysis challenge. Very straight forward and easy. I wasn’t selected, and in the email the recruiter stated if I wanted any feedback to let her know. I reached out (I like learning what my weaknesses are, what they didn’t like, etc.) She never bothered to respond back. Poor look on the company.

Question 1
Does the job description sound like something you’d like doing?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Instacart (Atlanta, GA) in Oct 2019
Interview
They were super friendly and helpful all throughout. Very standard "marketplace" process (e.g. Uber, Instacart, DoorDash). The steps were 1) recruiter phone screen, 2) take-home exercise (24 hours, they give you a dataset), 3) interview with the hiring manager (talked about my experience, a behavioral question, and a small case-like question), 4) interview panel with 5 people.
