Pluralsight

After going public, Pluralsight still retains a lot of what made it great, but with ever-increasing levels of bureaucracy and administrative overhead--common to any large public company. I personally prefer less administrative overhead, mostly because each additional level of "governance" slows down the company, and it's unclear that the costs are outweighed by the benefits. 

Benefits are still generally quite good, including unlimited time off (within reason as long as you're getting your work done and working with your manager), fully paid decent family health insurance, equity in the company, decent salary, and flexible working arrangements (depending on leader and group). On the downside the annual raises can be small to nonexistent, depending on how your current wage compares to market. If you make as much or more than mean market then you won't receive a raise. If you make below-market by some percentage then you can receive up to 6%, or less. Leveling up, while possible, is hard, and the reward uncertain. Some colleagues have reported that they leveled up, yet the organization didn't want to include a raise with an increased level because it would be over market. Equity, while still awarded to new hires and existing employees each year is declining, which means the overall value of the compensation package is falling. 

The people you'll work with at Pluralsight are generally great: hard-working, intelligent, thoughtful, fun, honest, and passionate about their work.

There's still a lot of opportunity at Pluralsight to make an impact.

Diversity and Inclusion are, as is the case at many tech companies, a focus at Pluralsight. But this isn't all good, because--as practiced at Pluralsight--it seems to be a strictly progressive/liberal definition of diversity and inclusion: emphasis on gender and race diversity and inclusion...without truly extending that to those of us who are conservative, libertarian, white, or (God forbid) male. So sometimes it can feel that the emphasis on belonging at Pluralsight comes at the expense of feeling less belonging if you're, say, a conservative white male. 

On the whole, it's still the best job I've ever had, but it's not as great as it used to be. Still, I recommend Pluralsight as an employer.

Everyday was a new day with opportunities to help others, both internally and externally. It was a team environment with focus to grow the company and move the needle. Communication was great, sometimes even over communication  from the top down, and everyone always had an open door, even if it was just to say "Hello". 

The mission was clear, and C level constantly communicated clearly the health of the company, weekly. The autonomy and trust that leads provided each person insured that each person could contribute in a creative way, bringing ideas, methods and experience that was heard by everyone. This provided empowerment, and being able to have open, constructive conversations without fear. Failures were growing experiences, and successes where opportunities to do better.  Hands down, one of the best, modern, and emerging companies I have ever worked for.

Work was very comfortable and allowed us to be creative and motivated with the elimination of the PTO policy. 
I learned that freedom allowed to bring the best autonomy out of employees. 
Management was great, although with hyper growth the culture can quickly become slippery when hiring several managers at a time.
I could not say good enough about my co-workers. Great teamwork. 
The hardest part of the job was keeping up with hyper growth, there tends to be a lot of growing pains, but you learn a lot by going through this. 
The best part of the job was the paid benefits, free drinks and snacks and paid 'family lunch' every Wednesday (which happens to be a great team building activity)

Management has been great and supportive. C-level team has been giving weekly updates since we started working from home because of the pandemic, and they are really open about telling us the state of affairs at the company (as much as they can) to put our minds at rest. 

I can count on always learning new things at work. I miss being back in the office and being able to talk with my team, whom I love, and having lunch with them on Wednesdays.


Everyone is ready, willing and able to roll their sleeves up and get dirty.
High value on lifelong learners.
My opinion and feedback is constantly requested and appreciated.
Company supports professional development requests, and outlines the steps I need to take for a promotion/move into other roles within the business.
Pay is mostly in line with the market.
Product is at the top of the marketplace, but product team isn't satisfied and continues to innovate.
Customers are extremely satisfied with the product.
Benefits are pretty good.
Great work/life balance.

As someone with 10 years of sales experience I was required to start as a BDR with a potential to move to AE after a year. If they would have spent 6 weeks on product training they would have access to a strong salesperson instead of a BS lead generator.

Leadership is poor at best, care more about the company than anything personal that may arise. Unrealistic expectations in numerous categories. Lack of integrity. List goes on.

***Unlimited PTO is definitely not unlimited. 

Also one of the worst onboarding and training programs I've ever seen. Ironic for a company that sells training software...

I have loved my nearly 10 years at Pluralsight.  My experience has been nothing but positive, until mass layoffs began this past month.  My department is now being sent offshore in the spring, which means I have to find new work.  This is devastating, as working for Pluralsight has been the best work experience I have ever had.  They give unlimited time off, assuming it's not abused.  They're very supportive in learning new skills, and you get a free subscription to the learning and training videos.  I'm hoping a miracle happens and my department stays in the States.  I'd love to work here until I retire.

Pluralsight really cares about its employees. The benefits are great, and the compensation is competitive. 

The culture is very encouraging of entitlement though. People throw tantrums over the silliest things. The company spends a truly stupid amount of money on making literally everything on brand.

The company also doesn't seem to know what to do with data. I've seen graphs that show no trend whatsoever labeled "Look at the steady improvement!" Management doesn't like criticism (constructive or otherwise) and is more focused on everyone feeling good.

For some time this was the best place I've ever worked for and truly had everything that I was looking for in a workplace. Yet over time things changed, I'm not sure if it all had to do with going public or from the large amounts of new hiring taking place. The qualities that I enjoyed as an employee and which made me think I wasn't going to ever look for another company have greatly diminished. Now I find myself looking to see what's out there. This doesn't mean that it's a horrible place to work, but I'm curious to see if I can find those qualities and vibe that seems to be slipping from Pluralsight.

I'd worked at PS for 17 months. During this time I led a small team who did tech work. The attrition at Pluralsight is staggering, executives quit left and right. I just lost my boss after only 3 weeks on the job.  The company focuses on congratulating one another for tiny accomplishments while the rest of the company is on fire. The product is highly outdated, the marketing team is too busy high-fiving to focus and the product team I am on spins their wheels most of the time. I moved to Utah for this job and now I'm stuck in a position I can't stand. Stay away from Pluralsight.
