Pros

Company Lunh, Benefits, Nice Office

Cons

Working at Pluralsight has been a disappointing experience. Quotas constantly change, expectations are unrealistic, "favorites" are a thing, leadership is condescending, and taking time off (even though you have unlimited PTO) is strongly looked down upon. Individuals with poor performance and a weak work ethic receive promotional opportunities, while people who have actually earned a promotion and are qualified get passed up. Pluralsight used to be a great place to work, but the culture of the company has become toxic and is forcing a lot of really good talent to go elsewhere.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience at Pluralsight. We all have different experiences of being here, and you’re right — seeking context and being one’s word are both important values. I would have valued the opportunity to gain more context from you while you were here so that I could have possibly helped to make your situation better. Even though you decided to leave I'd still welcome the opportunity to hear your context to improve for other team members at Pluralsight. Thanks for sharing. - Anita

Pros

Pluralsight on paper has an inspiring vision. The carefully crafted messaging from Aaron Skonnard, inspires you to want to be a believer. Who doesn't want to democratize education, and level the playing field? Who doesn't want to see more people of color, more LGBTQ and more women in leadership positions? It's a goal that most of us can get behind. Me included. - Pay is fair - Benefits are fantastic - Open PTO

Cons

Goals are constantly shifting, and not well articulated. Middle management operates from a place of fear, giving you just enough information from upper management, to make themselves feel like they hold the power but not enough information for you to actually hit your goals. The result is a passive aggressive work environment with inter-departmental dynamics that pit employees against one another. Aaron Skonnard inspired me, but the lack of follow through - at all levels of the organization, make me doubt his conviction.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree that we have a very inspiring mission and vision. I also know that achieving this requires a highly inclusive culture. We are making good strides to create this across our locations, for every team member, every day. We know we have more to do but are deeply committed to creating more diversity and building an inclusive work environment a key part of our vision for the company. - Anita

Pros

Striving for transparency and authenticity Great Benefits Great Work/Life Balance

Cons

Asking people to voice their problems to you and HR directly and then asking the whole company to do positive Glassdoor reviews for you during town hall. I can't stand when businesses ask for reviews.

Thanks for sharing your experience. If team members choose to leave their impressions of working at Pluralsight on Glassdoor, we want reviews that are honest and reflective of their experience. Reviews are one way we give candidates a glimpse into what it’s like to work for us. That being said, we did not ask for positive or good reviews, nor will we ever. We also want to make it clear that if there is an issue that needs to be handled, we want to handle it. And the best ways to do that is through our quarterly surveys, our town halls, 1:1s. You are always welcome to reach out to me and other leaders as well. I am committed to keeping the lines of communication open and the feedback honest, no matter the channel. - Anita
