Pros

Most of the people you work with are great. Work life balance is OK. Benefits are good.

Cons

3 layoffs in 7 months doesn't look good when the ELT keeps saying they're looking forward to the future after each one. And then some of those positions are opened up and given to people outside the org. Lower and middle management definitely have their own agenda due to the stresses put on them by the uppers. I've been pulled out of several territories I was succeeding in so others who were already successful could shine more. Placed in struggling territories in the name of opportunity and being a veteran on the team. Moving up as a BDR is almost impossible if you're not in the top 10% being groomed by the leaders.

I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t had a positive experience during your time at Pluralsight. I acknowledge the company has been through a lot of changes recently and it’s been a challenging time. Like many SaaS companies, economic uncertainty has indeed had an impact on our business but we’ve also had inefficiencies inside the company that we have addressed to hold everyone, including senior leaders, accountable . Ensuring that our team members feel supported in their roles is important to us and I encourage you to talk with your leader or your People Business Partner about what will help you succeed in your role. I hope you were able to attend our August Town Hall where Greg and Bob mapped out some exciting changes and updates for the future. I believe there are positive things ahead for Pluralsight and I hope you stick around to be a part of it. -Will

Pros

Good company, good mission. Actual day to day duties are fun, challenging, and interesting. Good people to work with.

Cons

Too much change, uncertainty, cloudy strategy moving forward. Always chasing the next best thing, even though you're in the middle of implementing the last best thing.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I’m glad to hear you’ve found your day-to-day work challenging and fun, and that you enjoy working with the people here. I acknowledge that there has been a lot of change over the past year, and with change comes uncertainty. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to watch our most recent Town Hall. Greg and Aaron went over some exciting updates to our strategy. I believe this strategy will give Pluralsight the competitive edge for years to come. -Will

Pros

- Insurance benefits were pretty good - Unlimited PTO + 2 recharge weeks - Good work/life balance for most roles - If you pay close enough attention, you'll be able to see the layoffs coming

Cons

- 3 rounds of layoffs in a 7 month span - I voiced concerns of misconduct and was ignored - Leadership brags about the growth of the India Technology Center despite that growth coming at the expense of roles that are already filled - Rapid turnover of senior and executive leadership - Little to no room for growth/career advancement

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We take reports of misconduct seriously. If you experienced misconduct during your time at Pluralsight and it wasn’t handled properly, please reach out to me directly. I’d like to understand the situation and get things sorted. I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t feel that leadership was transparent. We strive to communicate with purpose and be as transparent with team members as we can. We also consistently evaluate the effectiveness of our communication and look for ways to improve, so I appreciate your feedback. We value all of our team members and their contributions, and the decision to proceed with staff reductions was not something that was taken lightly. However, it was a necessary step as part of our plan to ensure we’re best positioned for future success. -Will
