Pros

I work with a lot of great people. However, I don't see many sticking around for much longer since our leadership has tainted the organization. A handful of good talent has already left in recent weeks.

Cons

We started out believing we made a difference in the world of technology. We now only exist to enrich the pockets of our leadership team and IPO by any means necessary. Simply put, the lavish culture that Pluralsight promotes has turned into a facade to attract an IPO for leadership to bank on. Broken promises at every corner of the organization with no idea that they are hurting the people that have been long loyal members of the company. We were told to organize our lives around Pluralsight. I have never been part of an organization that puts work over family and personal life. This company has become extremely greedy and does not reward its hard working employees. The only form of reward was an overly hyped ownership party where the CFO boasted about how he has so many shares that he did not take a salary. I have completely lost trust in our CRO, CFO, and CEO. Every time they speak it's just one big sales pitch to make them richer and race toward an IPO that they are desperate to achieve.

Pros

Immediate coworkers Unlimited Paid Time Off

Cons

New senior leadership that came in from Avantax essentially ruined the company and culture that had been built up in years prior. They took no time to understand roles within the business, just interested in making any short term cost cutting decisions that will keep them afloat. However, they have no long term strategy in mind and are constantly pivoting on a whim.
