Instructure Reviews

Pros

Stock programs are awesome (RSU, ESPP, and compensation). Lots of autonomy. Great people and culture. Worklife balance is awesome, with an unlimited time off policy (still have to coordinate, but I've always gotten what I needed). And the products are well-respected in the industry. I feel good about helping build software that benefits students and teachers (Canvas and Bridge).

Advice to Management

We need to work on bridging interdepartmental gaps and expectations. Each department has its own goals and none of them align with one another. It would also be advantageous to make the process of management selection and career progression a bit more open.

Pros

I have been working at Instructure for a number of years as a Solutions Engineer. My leader is awesome. He gets us and really cares for the team, our customers, and our careers. Instructure overall continues to grow and I like the fact that I get to learn new things all fo the time

Advice to Management

Our new CEO is great. He has spent time with our team and really gets our business. He has been a great addition to the company and for our future. The senior management is good, but people need to work more together across the company. Setting the example of this from the top is important.

Pros

Great benefits, co-workers, office perks, culture. New CEO seems to be humble and hardworking. Lots of good people have been hired recently. The company seems to be headed in the right direction overall.

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!

Top Notch Benefits
Work Life Balance top notch
Good people.

Pros

They treat me like I'm a full-time employee rather than an intern. Great culture, everyone is friendly and very helpful. I felt very welcomed. I'm able to work from home when I need to.
