Pros

You'll have a job, but your content will be swimming in a sea of contract-generated content that is filled with self-promotion and isn't ever updated, just replaced, maybe.

Cons

Pluralsight's acquisition of A Cloud Guru was horribly executed, with dozens of extremely valuable training architects jumping ship due to an egregious content contract, mandatory psychological profiling and it being quite clear they bought ACG to own the labs functionality, which ACG had actually bought Linux Academy for.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I’m sorry to hear that your time at Pluralsight was not ideal and that you felt the acquisition wasn’t executed well. I would like to clarify that we do not require mandatory psychological profiling. I think what you’re referencing is our CCAT assessment which is a cognitive aptitude test that allows us to learn more about mental agility, skills, and abilities. Tests like these are a common hiring practice among many companies. Pluralsight acquired ACG for many reasons but above all, the acquisition truly positioned us to deliver the most comprehensive solution for driving cloud maturity at scale. In regards to onboarding, we put a lot into that time to ensure our team members feel welcomed, set up for success, and immersed in our culture from day one. Though Pluralsight wasn’t the right fit for you, we appreciate the time that you spent here and I wish you all the best in your new endeavor. Best, Will
