Pluralsight reviews

Post-Vista, the red tape and clicky vibes are strong and everywhere...Speaking with many other people in different positions and departments, the writing is on the wall this point. Vista wants results rightfully so, but at any cost it seems, and is quietly laying off and firing people across the org regardless of what they are saying internally. Someone was recently fired for "untimely communication," meanwhile the VP of her department is widely known as someone that doesn't show up to meetings, doesn't respond nor acknowledge said meetings, responds when he wants too/aka doesn't follow his own advice and sticks his nose in projects well beneath his role. Fortunately, even though this person was fired wrongfully, unemployment accepted her request because the case worker was suspicious of the lack of evidence from Pluralsight. Another person in a different department was also recently fired because they didn't meet newly appointed performance goals when they weren't hired with goals/targets in the first place. When they asked the SVP (same SVP that sexually harassed; see below) for details to the targets missed, the SVP didn't have any details to share. Which has been an ongoing issue for that SVP and his team -- they are incapable of capturing data, coming up with clear goals and collaborating with other teams in an efficient way. Last year when the newly appointed SVP mentioned above, that is buddy buddy with Vista folks, came onboard the SVP targeted and verbally, sexually harassed me. Screenshots and his behavior was reported. It was allegedly brought to legal's attention, he was spoken to and not fired. Recently found out from someone that still employed, that they were were also sexually harassed by someone and it was reported. Seems to be a problem... Among other things, leadership hires tend to be condescending and incompetent, and knowingly upon hire this leader had no experience within my role to support me and team. They lacked people management skills, didn't listen to feedback and reacts very defensively. This person passed the Vista test though, so she must be "great." Speaking of the Vista test, a senior manager was hired when they clearly had zero senior manager experience. They were the default candidate choice because one of the other candidates couldn't pass the Vista test they took 3 times, and the other candidate was offered a job elsewhere. Yes, this person that received the senior manager role with zero senior experience and barely a year of actual experience in the department, was in fact, a stereotypical skin color and gender. It is common practice to give higher titles to those that don't have the experience to justify the title change while those that do have the extensive experience have to make a case for the higher title. These are just the few instances and examples I have the energy to share.

Pluralsight's acquisition of A Cloud Guru was horribly executed, with dozens of extremely valuable training architects jumping ship due to an egregious content contract, mandatory psychological profiling and it being quite clear they bought ACG to own the labs functionality, which ACG had actually bought Linux Academy for.
