Pros

They have a really robust benefits program. The health insurance, life insurance, 401k match, vacation policy, and even catering are all really great perks.

Cons

My experience at Pluralsight was so disappointing because I thought it was going to be a place I could stay long term. However, I almost immediately noticed problems that turned out to be deal-breakers. In my experience, Pluralsight was not a nurturing environment for women or people of color. I was witness to several frustrating conversations with regards to gender and race and heard of many more. But, these incidents went unreported because there are so few women and POC in significant leadership roles that if they were reported, people would know who "ratted them out." Employees who were skilled at their jobs were promoted to leadership positions regardless of their ability to be a good team leader. They burned their teams to the ground and weren't given the proper training to know how to lead well. Flexibility and understanding for persons with disabilities was hard to come by. Some managers do so well at providing their team members what they need and the environment they thrive in. And, it's frustrating to watch some employees thrive because they have good leaders and feel stuck in your own job and team. The corporate culture doesn't trickle down to the day-to-day operations, and it's confusing and frustrating to try to navigate.

Wow, I’m so disappointed to hear this. Your experience related to women and people of color is counter to what I experience and to what we stand for. I would truly want to know if this was happening. We are focused more this year, than ever, on diversity and inclusion with our Women at Pluralsight group, hiring our Head of Diversity & Inclusion, deploying a diversity & inclusion survey for our US team members, and other work we’re doing in recruiting and as a workplace to ensure Pluralsight diverse and inclusive of all. Our first female board member just joined as well. I acknowledge that this is a continued journey and there is more work to be done, but would like to know if there are incidents that are counter to what we’re committed to. I would love if you would consider talking to me, I care deeply about what you see and I am committed to listening to you. Thanks for sharing. - Anita
