Pros

Decent pay (still well below industry standard for a company of this size) Remote work (however you will be penalized for living in a different time zone)

Cons

Most employees at Instructure are operating under the assumption that the company exists to improve education and support teachers and students. The reality is that the only goal for leadership, just like every other technology company, is growth, revenue, and beating their competitors at all odds. Management manipulates employee goodwill by making demands for "mission-oriented" work, but do not actually believe in their mission or live their values.

Pros

Very nice co-workers Benefits are at least average Work life balance is ok, flexible time off and decent holidays Don’t have to work that hard, great place to retire Focused on AI though the foundations for it aren’t there - as if we’re trying to check the box for a board

Cons

Pretty much a start up with terrible systems and processes Little to no investment in any supporting functions rooted in the TB days of prioritizing margin Cross-functional work is disorganized with horrible change management Complacency across the board. Seems like the old people are just waiting for their equity to vest, doing the absolute bare minimum Clearly an edtech company which feels a lot like what the government must be like Atrocious decision making Senior leaders care more about politics and their own egos than making the company better. Like everyone has an agenda I cannot imagine worse systems setup or data
