Pros

Benefits were great but not sure how long they'll be around for - Fully paid health insurance - Unlimited PTO - Paid for Gym and wellness expenses

Cons

On the ground teams are great but upper management seems out of touch with the economic climate out there. They are expecting the levels of growth they enjoyed up to 2020 which is nothing short of dreaming. Massive company wide layoffs which didn't seem to have much strategic thought. They slashed teams making them completely inoperable. Icing on the cake was out of 400 jobs slashed they are happily moving 191 jobs to the Indian office. This all seemed to be a reallocation rather than actual layoffs.

Thank you for the review and for your time at Pluralsight. While you are correct about the unlimited PTO and a monthly wellness reimbursement (capped at $50), our team members pay a small portion of their healthcare coverage premiums depending on the plan and their location. I can assure you that leadership is aware of the current economic climate, and our recent workforce reduction was a direct result of careful planning to navigate an uncertain global economy. Our plan to grow our business in India has been in the works for a number of years, however I want to clarify that only 35 roles were relocated from our other offices to India as part of our recent restructuring (not 191 which is the number of team members we plan to hire in India in 2023). - Will
