Instructure Reviews

Pros

Great office and culture
Team members and leaders really care about people and want to help others
This is my first job and I could be wrong, but I imagine Instructure has to be one of the best companies in tech right now. It is a company that focuses on education and we actually use the software we create. I was a Canvas user in school and saw firsthand how great the potential of software is. Now we use Bridge in Instructure and it is so helpful. Especially for someone starting their career and not knowing how to work with others yet.

The culture is not a hierarchy either. I was in the elevator the other day and the new President of the company stepped in. He just started talking to me and introduced himself. I was impressed at how easy he was to talk to and how down to earth he was. It is a good example of how chill and awesome people are here.

Pros

I worked at Instructure for about 4 years, during this time I witnessed so much growth. I saw a privately held company aggressively and successfully make the IPO dream a reality. I learned from many leaders and mentors who I'll hold close to my network indefinitely and I saw growth in my own career in ways I could not have imagined. This is a company I always felt great working for, a company I was proud to advocate for on the sales side and a mission I truly believed in. I probably would have continued to work here for years to come, but an opportunity that aligned with my long term career vision came up in a different city.

Advice to Management

With rapid growth comes growing pains, not to the fault of Instructure but just the nature of YoY growth and managing expectations from multiple stakeholders. I believe the people in place now are the right individuals to drive things forward. I would just encourage leadership to keep close to the ground where the day to day happens before making large and widespread decisions that have long term implications.

Also continue to focus on K-12, it's a powerful vertical and our brand is here is well loved across the nation! This is meaningful work!

Support is the structure that helps keep the customers happy, if support isn't happy things will continue to deteriorate as rapidly as they are.

Advice to Management

Understand the bigger the company gets, the more "call center" policies end up being enforced. PLEASE stay away from it as much as possible. I understand some things are inevitable and will happen eventually, but I've seen too many companies go down due to bad management calls for their employees enforcing restrictive policies. Try to be innovative with new policies and don't take the easy way out just because it "works".
