Pros

- The people. The group that I worked with was filled with some of the most compassionate, hardworking people I’ve met - The projects you get to work on - Learning is valued - Unlimited PTO - Benefits

Cons

- The continuous rounds of layoffs (I made it through 5, but was laid off the 6th round) - The awkward excuses given every time we had layoffs - after one of the rounds, one of the higher ups told us that our moral would go up if we met more of our deadlines (keep in mind a couple rounds of layoffs had already occurred and 400+ people had been laid off before this comment was made) - Took away travel and meetups - Dissolving whole US based teams/sections and shifting positions/projects to India Use to be such the best company to work for. Seriously was a dream company. But a lot of that positive energy that was there when I was hired is now gone. The layoffs occurring every 3-4 months did not help with this either. I just hope Pluralsight can become that dream company again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you had positive experiences with the people you worked with, the projects, and the emphasis on learning, PTO and benefits. I believe I am the leader you referenced in your review, and I want to apologize if my remarks came across negatively. At the time, the company was navigating a challenging period, and my goal was to highlight the importance of banding together to deliver results so we could turn things around. I acknowledge that the statement didn’t come across like I intended and will take accountability for how it landed. As far as travel and meetups, our leadership team is passionate about fostering in-person connections. We have recently implemented new travel requirements to facilitate more in-person collaboration and strengthen our team dynamics​. This is part of our broader strategy to restore and enhance the positive energy that makes Pluralsight a great place to work. Regarding your mention of work shifting to India, some roles and teams have moved to our India Technology Center. However, the majority of our workforce remains in the U.S. The ITC allows us to provide around-the-clock support and tap into a diverse talent pool, which is crucial for our global operations. I acknowledge the concerns about the impact of layoffs on morale. We are committed to stabilizing and growing our teams to avoid these disruptions in the future. Will Clive Chief People Officer
