      Pros

      The people are the best of the best. No other company I have worked with comes close. These friendships will continue through the rest of my career. Pay and benefits were great. It changed over time, but still, never had complaints. Reputation in the market is solid, mostly because of the first point, we attracted the best talent.

      Cons

      Vista - they pounced when we were struggling as a public company but do not know what to do now. They have gone through the Rolodex of Vista C-suite to see if something will work, and because of that, the company has had 5 layoffs in the last 13 months, with more certainly to come. Morale is in the dumpster. Culture - what was once the best out there (again, not exaggerating) plummeted over the past 2 years. The constant fear of the 5:30 email from Aaron announcing another layoff loomed over everyone and I know still does. Product - the product has stagnated, partly because of initial layoffs removing some of the brightest minds focused on fixing it. Customers felt the pain as the GTM team was unaware of changes since Product Marketing was wiped out. C-Suite Leadership - again, this was THE BEST leadership back in the day, but Vista came in and destroyed that, placing Execs who saw the people as a cost center. Constant changing of direction has led to all departments feeling rudderless.

      Thank you for the detailed review. You bring up some valid points and I understand your frustrations. We’ve experienced a lot of change and disruption over the past two years, including the staff reductions you mentioned. However I agree with you that we have the best people to work with across the globe and that hasn’t changed. There were a number of different reasons for these changes, but none of them were due to a Vista requirement. We had to make changes to our leadership, strategy, and products to refocus our efforts in a challenging time for our business and deliver real value to our customers. Under this new leadership, we’ve set a new strategy and org structure to best support it. We understand that we have a lot of re-building to do. Regaining trust and strengthening our culture are top priorities for me. Will Clive Chief People Officer

      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

      The people are alright and benefits are pretty good.

      Cons

      I worked at Pluralsight for 2 years. In that time there were layoffs every 6 months including the week before I started. Not sure what is going on here but I would avoid Pluralsight
