Pros

Get plenty of opportunities to practice and work on you patience with both customers and your supervisors. Learn to love to be micromanaged.

Cons

Most of the users you'll speak with are going to yell at you and your supervisors will constantly be to busy micromanaging someone else to help. Also do you like to get paid practically nothing to learn skills that will help you literally no where else well look no further!! Interviewer: Can you do XYZ? Previous Instructure employee: No, but did you know you can change your courses home page by clicking the "Choose Home Page" button on the right side of the home page? (be prepared to regurgitate that at least 10 times a day)

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
