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

Overall, people were fun but not many other positives in the old culture.

Cons

People thought the culture was an amazing thing but in reality, it was more a "fun" culture than an accountable and business centric culture under prior leadership. The company remained in start-up thinking for too long and not long-term business. If the old leadership is reviewed, we can see the stock price issue, layoffs at a time when the leaders were well compensated, poorly managed PE, but former employees will say the culture was fine. It was a fun business but not a business where accountability was the strongest thing.
