Pros

Had some truly wonderful colleagues! Work life balance was also generally solid.

Cons

I worked at Pluralsight for 4 years. It is a terribly run company that continuously got worse. I witnessed probably 3 rounds of layoffs a year every single year. Countless management changes. Management brings in their buddies from previous jobs who have no interest in learning how things are done here. They are cliquey and toxic with each other. They undervalued myself and my colleagues who were actually doing really important work and rewarded the useless ones. Terrible place for career growth and pay was slightly below industry standard. Every few months they completely switch business directions. Should be 1 star but I gave one extra for my favorite colleagues.

Pros

Overall, people were fun but not many other positives in the old culture.

Cons

People thought the culture was an amazing thing but in reality, it was more a "fun" culture than an accountable and business centric culture under prior leadership. The company remained in start-up thinking for too long and not long-term business. If the old leadership is reviewed, we can see the stock price issue, layoffs at a time when the leaders were well compensated, poorly managed PE, but former employees will say the culture was fine. It was a fun business but not a business where accountability was the strongest thing.
