Pros

- InStride's Managers encourage and empower their direct reports to grow through continuous feedback and our "StepForward" Program which allows InStrider's to get a higher education FOR FREE. - Not only do they focus on your career path and professional growth, but they are also here to support you on a day-to-day basis no matter what the issue may be. I have never seen such managerial support like this. It is truly inspiring to know that they care. - Fantastic group of people. I constantly feel empowered around the people I work with every day.

Cons

- Meeting heavy but InStride is trying to improve (and definitely has within the past year)

Thank you for your review. We agree that the people at InStride are fantastic and are thrilled that you feel supported by the people managers at InStride. We’re also glad you’ve seen improvement in the amount of time spent in meetings. InStride administers an employee survey twice each year, and the feedback from those surveys determines a lot of what we do. We have been told that some of our business units host too many meetings. Our leaders continuously review our meeting cadences and are dedicated to making strides to improve.

Thank you for your review. It’s great that you mention our smart and capable employees. We agree, we hire some of the best and brightest people to work at InStride. We also know that in order for those great people to stick around, employers must demonstrate their appreciation, so we make it a point to celebrate victories whenever possible. We’re happy you mentioned our Step Forward program, where InStride employees have access to online courses from our academic partners. InStride’s mission is to enable employers to offer high-quality education programs to their employees at no cost to the employee, so we offer the same opportunity to our own employees. We hope all of our employees are able to take advantage of the access to education to polish their skills, learn new ones, or even earn a certificate or degree.

Pros

I love being an InStrider! The mission and values align with my personal values and I feel like I get to come to work every day as my true authentic self. Providing access to life-altering educational opportunities to those who otherwise would not have access brings meaningful purpose to the work we do. It's not just a job - InStride gives me a community, shared goals, and an opportunity to. build something that makes an impact.

Cons

Things move quickly. - you have to work with speed, agility, and a willingness to change direction as needed.

Thank you for your review! We’re thrilled you feel so positively about working at InStride. We do encourage everyone to bring their entire selves to the team, and that’s something that was built into our culture from the very beginning. One of the foundations on which our company culture is built is an open invitation for employees to bring their diverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and ways of thinking to bear in our collective work. We also appreciate the feedback on the pace of work here. We do move fast, but we encourage InStriders to figure out what works best for them in terms of balancing the demands of work and life. We offer flexible PTO and have company-wide Wellness Days where the entire office shuts down, so that no one feels like they’re missing anything or falling behind by taking a day off to rest and recharge.
