Pros

The benefits are the only good thing they have to offer.

Cons

This company dismisses real problems and layers on extensive toxic positivity. They're encouraging us to write overly-positive reviews to "stay listed as one of the Best Places to Work" with specific deadlines. InStride has the most toxic environment I've ever worked in. Don't expect to get promoted at this company. Despite overdelivering on OKRs, the company only promotes those are sipping the toxic positivity kool-aid.
