InStride Engineering Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
Great Getting InStride sessions. A lot of challenges. I love the culture
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team is very nice and mean well. I think we need more strategic decision making, an emphasis by the leadership team on how we're doing against KPIs and benchmarks we've set, projected against baseline, optimistic, and aggressive targets and business alignment on addressing tech debt.
Review from Engineering Dept
Share information and ability to hear different opinions
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership is always pushing new initiatives and going after bigger clients
Review from Engineering Dept
Allow me to do POC's to improve performance
Review from Engineering Dept
Collaborative and supportive. Also willing to dig into the details to help remove obstacles.
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Recognizing that giving 2% raises during high inflation is not appropriate, it is essentially a pay cut. Recognizing that without the people that build their product they wouldn't have their bonuses.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
welcome package and phone/internet are good parts
Review from Engineering Dept
The best part for me is free education!
Review from Engineering Dept
Unlimited PTO is nice. I need to take more advantage of it however, I haven't used much this year.
Review from Engineering Dept
My total comp is relatively in line with earnings last few years.
Review from Engineering Dept
The whole compensation package is solid. From health insurance to the little perks everything is awesome
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I just got here. Feel like I should be getting paid more considering the type of work I'm doing and the role I'm filling. We also just lost a member so will probably need to step up.
Review from Engineering Dept
As I said before a 2% raise given during times of high inflation is a pay cut. We onboard amazon, did everything in record time, every team got affected by it, all that stress due to the mismanagement of the whole process... for a pay cut? Makes leadership look bad
Review from Engineering Dept
I believe I should be a senior engineer
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?

Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone puts in the effort, we get things done and meet expectations even with an unstable platform and limited agency due to lack of trust with permissions.

We all work well together and have a diverse knowledge of all aspects of technology

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The work culture is incredibly relaxed and understanding of life outside of work. Sometimes I feel its too lax. People are just waiting around for others to do work or are okay if things lag or delay.
Review from Engineering Dept
Inclusive, people share their ideas and these are being heard
Review from Engineering Dept
All my coworkers talk to each other with transparency and honesty
Review from Engineering Dept
The fact that everyone is so willing to step in and help out when needed. There are often times I find myself communicating with teams I don't know that well and every time I find such positive help
Review from Engineering Dept
Everyone is willing to help even with dumb questions

What makes you most happy at work?
Interacting with my team members
Review from Engineering Dept
Learn about software architecture and apply knowledge
Review from Engineering Dept
I like the fact the InStride gives a lot of freedom to explore new ways to improve the company. As a developer jobs can get very boring constantly following design layouts and tickets. When given the ability to explore spikes and POC's it creates a lot more creative and fun environment to work in
Review from Engineering Dept
Building complex systems with open requirements
Review from Engineering Dept
Working on issues that seem to matter. Providing a good tool that people use and has positive impact on their lives.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Most of my day is meetings that lead nowhere because no one is every aligned and everyone wants to change the direction of the product in different ways, we can make 4 months worth of progress just for it to be destroyed by someone who was never in the discussion process to create a requirement
