Avoid at All Costs - Anonymous employee Instructure Employee Review

Constant layoffs... every single year, with no real job stability. Most recent layoff cut top talent, only for the same roles to be reposted later at lower pay. After the private equity takeover, the company shifted entirely to shareholder-first thinking, not education or customers. Executive team lacks diversity (overwhelmingly male), which shows in the decision-making and company priorities. Pay is not competitive for the work required, and OTE targets are not realistically attainable. “Do more with less” became the permanent expectation as resources and support decreased. Culture, communication, benefits, and clarity all declined significantly after the acquisition. Leadership is disconnected, inconsistent, and lacks a clear strategic direction. Overall sense of chaos and reactivity rather than genuine planning. Employee well-being is not a priority.
