Pros

Great base and commission potential

Cons

All depends on your territory. Great sales people laid off because of a bad territory, while others were promoted due to being placed in a great territory. Favoritism when it comes to who gets which territory, they know which one's are good/bad territories.

Pros

Flexible timings , hybrid model

Cons

No Professionalism, no humanity , immature manager, she laid me off without involving HRBP nor HR head in the conversation and no time was given to breath and they revoked all my access and locked my system even after i requested to talk to HRBP and HR. Worst management and low grade exit formalities , no respect , no dignity.. they kick employees out like a trash..

Too many cooks in the kitchen.

Pros

Great minds to work with. Big complex problems to solve, as well as cool technologies to work with. Many perks like WFH and "Unlimited PTO".

Cons

Slowly chipping away at benefits. Management changes direction and expectations at the drop of a hat. Employees in constant fear of layoffs. You will be constantly treated as a replaceable cog. Promotions and raises are basically nonexistent. Constantly moving the target and expecting people to roll with the punches. If you, quite reasonably, can't hit targets because expectations and requirements change you will be locked out of opportunity. The opening of the ITC(India Technology Center) is a thinly veiled offshoring effort. If you aren't hitting targets that are purposely kept from you or your team, you risk getting laid off at the end of a quarter. Doesn't even have to be your deficit. If the team is "under performing"(without a clear definition of what that is) the whole team is gone, soon to be replaced by an Indian team. If your team isn't replaced you'll be expected to onboard engineers in the Indian time zone because they can't figure out the previous code due to limited documentation. This is often handled asynchronously, so a simple request on either end can take weeks to understand, let alone execute on.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your insights and concerns. Firstly, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed working with great minds and tackling complex problems, as well as utilizing cool technologies. We strive to foster an innovative and collaborative environment. Regarding benefits, we understand the importance of maintaining valuable benefits for our team members. Contrary to the perception of benefits being reduced, we've actually expanded our offerings. For instance, we've introduced discounted cell phone plans for our U.S. team members. In terms of promotions and raises, over the past 1.5 years, we've conducted three promotion cycles. We didn't have merit increases last year, however we recently completed a merit increase cycle in June and paid out a percentage of bonuses both this year and last. The ITC (India Technology Center) is not an offshoring effort. We continue to hire in the U.S., and the majority of our open roles are based here. The ITC allows us to provide around-the-clock support for our customers and collaborate with exceptional talent globally. We recognize the need for consistent leadership and strategic direction. With our almost entirely new C-suite, including our CEO who joined in April, we are committed to aligning our efforts towards a future-proof strategy. You can learn more about our strategic direction here: https://www.pluralsight.com/newsroom/press-releases/pluralsight-strategy-update Thank you for your contributions and for being part of the Pluralsight journey. Will Clive Chief People Officer
