Pros

Unlimited PTO, free health insurance, maternity leave, and stock options.

Cons

It is clear that the corporation has lost sight of its vision to democratize technology skills. Instead, they are focusing on making as many sales as possible to get to $1 billion dollars in revenue. When COVID hit, the innovative, creative culture within the organization started to plummet. A restructure was announced that lasted over 6 months. Product Managers were enabled to grow and learn prior to this restructure through a practices organization. That org has since been dissolved with no replacement in the plans. Leaders are giving their employees the sentiment more and more that they are unwilling or unable to mentor their staff. The sad part about this whole situation is that Pluralsight touts its technology to enhance learning, up-skilling, and growth. Yet, they don't drink their own Koolaid when it comes to career mentorship and growth. Folks have been exited from the company under the guise that there are opportunities available for them when those opportunities do not exist. It is an incredibly toxic place to work, and makes me weep over the Pluralsight that I loved.

Thank you for the thoughtful review and advice. We have undergone a lot of changes in our Product org this past year to enable our teams to better serve our customers and continue to create the strongest results for them. As with many such efforts to create long-term value, it hasn’t all gone perfectly. Through it, we’ve learned some valuable lessons and have a team positioned well for the future. Thank you for being here and thanks for your patience. - Anita
