Dumpster Fire - Director Pluralsight Employee Review

Used to be a company that people admired, especially in the Salt Lake Valley. As with every Vista takeover, they bring in their peeps and it feels like PS got the leftovers. The executive team at PS is in over their heads. You have a first time CFO, who most people actually like, but nonetheless he is simply the middle man between the business and Vista. Operationally the company is about as bad as it gets. It made it impossible for sales to efficiently close business, which translates into low quota attainment, which leads to layoffs. The Ops Leadership team has a few metrics whereby you can measure their success: Process, Data, Forecasting and Planning. The sales process isn't a process, it's people running around trying to get deals approved and out the door. Data is not reliable and unusable, they couldn't forecast yesterdays weather. Planning usually consists of how many people will they plan to lay off. But hey, let's give the new Ops Exec a promotion (who I believe hasn't had a tenure longer than a year or two at his last several stints - I would assume because they weren't comfortable with incompetent people running critical portions of their business). I wish I worked in an environment where my ineptitude could be exposed in every aspect of my business and still get a promotion. I can assure you all, the best days of Pluralsight are behind them. A majority of their revenue this year will come from leasing out their Draper building, because they no longer have enough employees to justify the expense.
