Pros

Great extended teams, good comp., nice office location, solid mature product offering. I have met some great people here at PS.

Cons

The VC firm is busy convincing current employees that they will soon be reaping the benefits of a performance culture overhaul. Unfortunately performance improvement from their standpoint has apparently more to do with a reduction in headcount, and resources, (some of which inherently enable growth). Other observations: -Influx of benefit changes - at the expense of current frontline employee resources. -Influx of blinkered, one-dimensional managers, happy to wet down your back, while telling you "It's raining." -Lack of diverse culture, thought, toward growth initiatives. -Sales Opportunity generation focus/gamification program creation (read inflationary reporting is encouraged). Token awards given for achievement in that exercise, no corporate focus on customer conversations/client relationships and confidence.

Vista Equity is destroying PS

Pros

This was such an amazing company at one time. It still has a good learning culture and unlimited PTO.

Cons

When I came on all of the people who had been here before Vista Equity bought PS were leaving. They had removed a lot of benefits and replaced them with nothing, essentially cutting the pay of the people who built this company into the great machine it was. Vista Equity is continuing to cut benefits and pay without regard of the current employees. We just lost our 100% health insurance premiums and other benefits promised to us. This cuts our pay. We can't hire good talent anymore since our pay and benefits are no longer competitive. People are leaving and the new ones coming in aren't replacing the talent that was once here and this is only going to get worse.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, yearly shutdown (July), nice office

Cons

Where do I begin - Let me start by saying that Pluralsight was THEEE BEST JOB i've ever had. And it quickly became one of the worst i've had. To this day I still reminisce on how amazing working at PS used to be. I'm truly saddened at how quickly it made a turn for the worst. I was a top performer at PS and received multiple awards/ recognitions for my efforts. I was never considered for any sort of promotion while others (who i'd never seen hit sales quota in all my time at PS) were promoted due to personal relationships. I've sense found a company that promotes based off of work and performance.
