Pros

- Passionate and inspiring CEO - Nice workspace

Cons

- Quick to push people out of company if they don't fit - A lot of judgmental cliques--felt like a high school with jocks and mean girls - Managers manipulate "values" (e.g. agreements) to control employees and protect their political agendas rather than what's best for the company

We try hard to not do this -- focus on “culture fit” -- and instead focus on our values and behaviors to evaluate everyone’s performance. Our belief is that a commitment to our values, ensures that we’re all successful together in not only what we achieve and deliver for our customers, but as important, how we get it done. - Anita

Pros

The work is interesting and challenging The corporate mission and values are great Colleagues are great

Cons

Compensation policies went from very competitive (clearly one of the best employers in the area) to strictly mediocre with lots of ridiculous "gotchas." Leveling up within your role is exceptionally difficult, and the raise upon promotion is crappy due to employee-unfriendly policies like "you can't skip a pay level (so someone who goes up two levels upon promotion will only go up one level in pay), and "when you level up your pay only goes to the bottom of the band", and merit and market raises target the middle of the pay band--regardless of the value the employee provides. No COL adjustment, so if your role isn't in high demand and the band drops you can rest assured you'll never see a merit and market raise. Once upon a time there was a sense that leadership truly was committed to balancing the needs of the business with the needs of the people who comprise the business. That sense has sailed since IPO. The new sense is that only the business matters, management is according to the bottom line and working at Pluralsight has become nothing but a job. Leadership clearly believes they can skate by on employee goodwill, but when we employees feel like we're being used, manipulated, and taken for granted we're not likely to 1) stick around, and 2) give our best effort. I don't know who's responsible for the anti-employee compensation policies, but they are disappointing to say the least.

Hey there - I’m sorry to hear that this is how things are going for you. We’ve intentionally built our total rewards offering in a way that’s competitive, fosters internal pay equity, and that recognizes the value and contributions of our team members. Clearly you’re not experiencing it that way. I’d suggest meeting with your leader to gain more context and if you two aren’t satisfied with the outcome, loop in your business partner. I’m committed to ensuring you feel good about your rewards at Pluralsight. - Anita

Pros

great vision - 2020; great orientation, no one has an office.

Cons

Sr. leaders behave in their own self interest, very little feedback and communication, especially sales, experience and finance. Lots of fluff town halls. Have never paid bonuses. Financials are not as they appear.
