Pros

Good Benefits and the people that you work with on a day to day

Cons

Instructure was great place to work at one point. Now is just a place for the executive team to parachute with golden packages and allow the employees to hold the empty bags of ruthless choices management has made in the last year. It all started when Goldsmith joined the company from bringing in his sister (smart move .. NOT) and adding overprice executives to a company that was going to be sold in 8 months… Instructure core business is money .. management lacks experience and commitment to customers and employees

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
