Pros

Pluralsight has a world-leading product, an all-start management team & committed and driven team members. Of course there are all of the benefits that one would expect from a tech unicorn (candy walls, soda fountains, paid insurance, disability...etc.) just without the hipster arrogance. The leadership team tries really hard to make each team member feel valued, and that their contribution matters. Sometimes it works and sometimes not but they are clearly trying. There is a focus on career mentoring and personal growth, and investments are made in training and techniques that benefit both the company and the employee personally. It's challenging to work and manage through change and growth but those are great challenges! The Bike Kits are sick yo. Flexible work arrangements (GSD), potential for growth, great commission plan, optimistic outlook, and tremendous future (check the newswire. Legalities dictate that I not comment further :) ). An amazing and dynamic CEO who has gone from a computer hacker to a teacher to a CEO who is the vision and passion every company needs. And he's also a human who makes mistakes but admits to those too. It's been really cool to watch his growth.

Cons

Hyper-growth presents its own challenges, but we've all managed through these in a way that I think is very unique for companies like us. Still, sometimes it is easy as a longer-term employee who's role has changed several times to feel under-valued or forgotten. Sometimes it would be nice to be asked about how to address my vertical rather than being dictated to about it. I also don't like how I overheard a few people in marketing and product teams (including management) in conversation referring to salespeople as "monkeys" - that type of divisiveness hasn't ever existed at Pluralsight before, so I hope it's short-lived. It's hurtful because I work hard and bring all of my experience to bear to benefit everyone here. I don't think they would have said it had they known I could hear, but still... As for the sales team, I love having part of my drive making sure that we are funding the bonus pool for the rest of the team, it really is important to us so comments like that are particularly hurtful for those of us who have poured our lives into Pluralsight and it's mission. But those are all little things. Still, by far, the best job I've ever had. In fact I agree with Joe - it's not a job to me, and hasn't been for some time. It's my passion. I love it. Which is why I even care or bring up small things like that^^

Thank you for this incredibly thoughtful, candid, and thoughtful review. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience - the highs and the lows. In it all, it’s awesome to hear that it’s coming from the space of belief and trust that the leadership team is truly working hard for everyone to feel valued, to do the right thing. Thank you for that. We are committed to each person feeling completely valued on the team and I think there’s always an opportunity for us to reinforce that even more as we grow. The Sales team consistently kills it and we hands down wouldn’t be where we are without all of you. Thank you for all you’ve contributed over the years to taking us where we are. Grateful for you and your team. - Anita

Pluralsight - a plurality of insights

Pros

Pluralsight cares about individuals. The name says it all, although "sight" is actually short for "insight", which means, "the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing." The capacity to gain deep understanding. Pluralsight staff are learners. We are greater than the sum of our parts, and we keep getting better all the time.

Cons

Some people don't function well in a world without a lot of walls. We don't have a lot of rules - there are ambiguities that you have to participate in resolving. We also don't tolerate leaders who are out to gain power for themselves. If you are someone who doesn't function well without being in a box, or if you're power hungry and selfish, you would probably find a better fit elsewhere. We also have high expectations of our employees. We expect them to continually improve themselves, and that takes effort above and beyond your typical 9-5 job. While we don't ask people to work overtime, we do ask them to spend time on their own continuing to improve as people. Bringing new knowledge to the company every day. This isn't a lazy man's workplace, so don't apply if you're only in it for the unlimited time off :-)
