      Be prepared for quarterly layoffs

      Pros

      Amazing, talented, people who make coming to work enjoyable Unlimited PTO that you can actually take. Reasonable compensation

      Cons

      That most of those people mentioned in the "pros" section will suddenly be laid off at some point. Starting back in 2022 Pluralsight laid off 400 people and then continued going downhill from there. Then usually at the end of a quarter (Q1, Q2, etc.) there were more, smaller rounds of layoffs. That never really stopped, and made it a stressful place to work. They also got rid of their content support team, the ones who would respond daily to students who reported that content was outdated or not working as expected. They eliminated that team and also the content maintenance team whose jobs were to fix and update those broken things. And although customers are still reporting those issues, most of them are disappearing into the void and not being seen by anyone which is a really wild way to "champion the customer".

      Held together by bandaids, gum and pretty messaging

      Pros

      Culture pre-Vista acquisition in 2021 was fantastic. Platform was uniquely differentiated and innovative until Vista cut all costs from the business and loaded it with insurmountable debt. Current leadership team is selling a vision for innovation without anything stable to build that vision upon.

      Cons

      There are not any company leaders that use the Skills platform to develop team members. The platform hasn’t innovated in over 5 years and has critical functionality issues. The overall strategy is short-term focused on quarterly bookings. Every department has a different definition of who the customer is and what they need. RIFs have cut so deeply that core operations are unattended or covered by entry level personnel without any understanding of upstream or downstream impacts. Team members are viewed as a threat when applying systemic thinking to unravel the issues. Leaders use fear to motivate and gaslight team members to take the blame for the catastrophic consequences of cutting salaries indiscriminately. Merit and promotion cycles are not based on merit or actual performance. It’s a merry-go-round of consultants re-writing the strategy and playbooks every 6months, without any implementation or plan delivery. It’s exhausting.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the contributions you made during your time at Pluralsight. It sounds like you had a really frustrating experience and I’m sorry to hear that. We’re going through a transformation phase and acknowledge that comes with changes and quick shifts that can be exhausting. The leadership team has a multi-year strategy in place, and we’re aligned and committed to executing it thoughtfully over the long term. I also want to clarify a few points about how we operate, as some aspects of your review do not reflect our practices or culture. We actively encourage team members to bring diverse ideas and challenge the status quo to solve complex problems. If there’s a better way to do things, we want to hear it. Our merit and promotion processes are thorough and performance-based, designed to recognize contributions accurately; promotions are also dependent on business need. I encourage team members to discuss their promotion outcomes with their leader to understand what that pathway looks like. You also mention that some leaders were using fear and gaslighting. This is not something aligned with our values and any team member experiencing this should connect with their People Business Partner. Beckey Woodard Cole Chief People Officer
