      A Cautionary Tale – Declining Strategy, Toxic Culture, and Short-Term Thinking

      Pros

      Pay is at market Great Clients Internationally There are still some great people that remain after the 10th layoff

      Cons

      If you're considering Pluralsight as a place to grow your career, build meaningful products, or be part of a forward-thinking strategy, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. Since 2021, Pluralsight has been in a rapid decline, with leadership repeatedly failing to follow through on strategic initiatives. Customer feedback has been largely ignored, and the core product has suffered significantly as a result. What was once a company built on innovation and a strong learning culture under Aaron Skonnard has become an environment driven purely by short-term revenue goals to appease its private equity owners Vista - and now that it's bank owned due to Vista's devaluation it's being primed for quick profits , quick sell. The company’s leadership fosters a toxic culture where harassment is tolerated, and high performers are undervalued. There is no loyalty to employees, even those who have consistently delivered results. Instead of recognizing contributions, job security is determined by subjective opinions of senior leaders rather than actual performance. Many talented individuals have been pushed out or have had to take FMLA due to the extreme stress of the work environment. For those seeking a paycheck, Pluralsight might serve as a temporary stop. However, if you're looking for a place to contribute meaningfully, be part of a well-executed strategy, or help build a strong product, this is not the place. The company's focus remains on short-term financial performance rather than sustainable growth, making it an unstable and unfulfilling workplace. I hope to see Pluralsight return to the company it once was, but as of now, it is not a healthy or rewarding place to build a career.

      I’m sorry to hear that your experience at Pluralsight wasn’t positive, and I appreciate you sharing your perspective. As you noted, the past few years have brought significant change. With new leadership including our CEO Erin Gajdalo, and a new customer-centric strategy, we’ve worked through a period of transition—and we’re excited about our mission and the future. Our new owners believe in Pluralsight and have invested to support our long-term success. We’ve introduced a new performance goal framework to better recognize high performers and help every team member understand how their work connects to our broader strategy. We’ve also re-centered our culture around being customer-obsessed to ensure we’re consistently delivering value. I want to acknowledge your concerns around culture and toxicity. This is not something we tolerate. We encourage team members to report behavior that doesn’t align with our values, and while outcomes may not always be visible externally, our People team takes these matters seriously and works to address them appropriately. While this wasn’t the experience we hope for anyone at Pluralsight, your feedback is helpful as we continue to improve. Thank you for the impact you made during your time here. - Beckey Woodard Cole (Chief People Officer)

      Incredible Career Potential with Flexibility

      Solutions consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I have held 3 different roles across Pluralsight, from being a Corporate Recruiter for 2 years, to being an SMB Account Executive for about 6 mo, to now being a Solutions Consultant. The fact that I was able to tailor my career journey to exactly what I want for myself says it all - Pluralsight is a place where you can build YOUR future the way YOU want. I was able to have multiple mentors aid me through the journey at each step, was given opportunities to work on really cool, interesting projects to build my skills, and encouraged to create new projects that I was interested in doing, even if they were outside of my standard activities. I even took about a year of time where I left Pluralsight to be a SAHM after having my second kiddo, and was CELEBRATED by my leader for my choice to step away for a season, then welcomed back with praise and support from my old team as well as my new ones. I have felt so valuable and encouraged at every step of my career journey here, and I know I'm not alone in that. Since joining Pluralsight, I've convinced my sister, brother in law, and one of my husband's best friends to join as well because I love it so much.

      Cons

      Pluralsight has had multiple "tricky" stages where people felt nervous about change, but every single time I've been incredibly impressed at the transparency and honestly leadership has. The choices leadership makes always drive us forward, and our goals as an organization have always made sense to me and have genuinely made us better.

I also appreciate your note about in-person connection. I know how energizing those moments can be, and we’re continuing to look for meaningful ways to bring teams together. I’m proud Pluralsight has played such a large part in your career journey and can’t wait to see your continued impact. Beckey Woodard Cole Chief People Officer
