The process starts with an initial call with the recruiter, then a video call with the hiring manager, then video calls with the broader team and lastly a pitch challenge.
Recruiter (Sarah Huffman) ignored requests to provide feedback on interview. Otherwise everyone was pleasant.

Question 1
Q: Why do you want to work for Instacart?
Q: Tell me about a time when you had to juggle client and personal priorities
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Instacart in Aug 2024
Interview
This was without a doubt the most unprofessional and worst interview experience I have ever gone through. I was forced to go through 8 rounds in total of interviews over the course of 2 months.
On top of going through the entire process, I was told that the final presentation would be the final step of the process (after 7 previous rounds) only to be asked to have one "final" conversation with the hiring manager. This "conversation" was not just a chat. It was ANOTHER interview discussing my qualifications and skills around data analytics. After all of this I was still not selected for the 2 roles I was being considered for and received absolutely no feedback.
This is completely unacceptable, and unprofessional, and whatever you do, DO NOT interview here.
