Pros

None now. Jobs all went to India.

Cons

Forced to set goals with promise of higher pay. When goals were met and exceeded, promotion of pay never came, but jobs got outsourced to India. No bonuses, no raises in nine years.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I hear your frustration and would like to provide some clarification. Firstly, regarding bonuses, I want to emphasize that they are contingent on overall company performance and also individual performance. This is common practice among many organizations. We did fund our Bonus program last year, and we are on track to do the same this year (to further clarify, we have also funded both bonus and merit programs in most of the last nine years). In 2023 we also ran two promotion cycles where leaders were asked to submit team members for promotion consideration. Regarding your comment about jobs moving to India, we would like to clarify that this is not entirely accurate. While we have expanded operations to our India location to enhance our global presence, the majority of our workforce remains in the U.S. We have indeed shifted some roles to India, but we are actively hiring in both locations, demonstrating our commitment to maintaining a diversified workforce.

Pros

My team was awesome and I got to work on interesting projects. Flexible pto. Good work life balance.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch. They keep blaming “economic headwinds” for financial problems when it was really poor business decisions. They laid off my entire team and boss. Leaving behind just myself and another engineer. Never received an explanation on why those decisions were made and ended up being rolled into another team a few days later. Overall really weird experience.

I’m sorry to hear about your experience at Pluralsight. It has been a challenging year for Pluralsight. Economic uncertainty has indeed had an impact on our business but so have some inefficiencies in our company which we have identified and addressed. We’ve been consistently monitoring our performance and also have a clear and compelling new strategy for our products and solutions that I believe will set us on a successful course for years to come. -Will

Pros

* unlimited PTO, flexible work schedule

Cons

The culture has changed a lot since Vista Equity Partners acquired it. I cannot recommend working here. There is a strong desire to chase sales and short term growth rather than a sustainable and winning focus on solving customer problems.
