Pros

Pluralsight's mission is incredibly inspiring. Most people you work around are wonderful, innovative humans and in many ways truly are what make working at Pluralsight good. The people we work with are honestly the highlight, they have made working through some hard times at Pluralsight more bearable. Encouragement to continually learn and develop personally and professional are big at Pluralsight as well, something I personally appreciate. We also have good benefits that have been invaluable to myself and my family in my time here. Unlimited PTO and the encouragement to use it are also great things to see across the business.

Cons

Executive leadership turnover has become a regular occurrence in recent years. As a result it feels like strategy and direction are changing regularly causing employees to experience a form of professional whiplash. The end of 2022 and 2023 brought 3 layoffs or "restructures" that have left teams understaffed and often over worked which has caused lower morale and motivation. This has also affected team's trust in the Executive Leadership's decisions and direction. That's not to say we don't understand the need for change and innovation, it brings a lot of benefits and helps keep our business ahead and on the cutting edge. But having some consistency within leadership and their strategy would be valuable to team members at Pluralsight right now.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It’s crucial our mission resonates with all of our team members and I'm happy to hear you’re inspired by it. I agree with you that our people are what make Pluralsight such a great place to work and I love reading your positive remarks about the inspiring and innovative people you work with. I acknowledge your concerns regarding executive leadership turnover and the resulting changes in strategy. It's important to note that we've undergone a significant shift in our executive leadership team to align with a new strategy and approach aimed at improving our performance and ensuring competitiveness in the rapidly evolving landscape. We’ll be sharing company-wide OKRs in our January Town Hall to align all of our team members to our company strategy. Improving morale is a specific OKR for my team and we are looking forward to implementing plans for this goal in 2024. Will Clive Chief People Officer

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.
