Pros
Work/life balance has been and still is great in my role/s. I have the time I need to serve my priorities outside of work which makes me work harder and give back more while I'm working. I have the autonomy to work remote when I need to unlike anywhere else I've ever worked. If you're willing look passed the fantasy that was Pluralsight, accept that this a VC backed high-growth tech company looking to go public, you can quickly come to terms with the fact that this about money. As soon as you embrace it, there is a ton of opportunity for those who are active and intentional. You are surrounded by really smart people that you can learn from if you choose to. I've been challenged more at Pluralsight than at any other time in my career. I am better person and professional for it. Arguably one of the best product teams in the world. The product matters and Pluralsight's product is solid and helps solve a real need. Plenty of problems still to solve which spells opportunity for those willing to do the work to solve them. Management will support you in these efforts when they align with the business. Great people. Some of the best direct management I've ever worked with. If you love your job, do great work, adopt and adapt without spinning your wheels in the latest rumor or change, you'll excel.
Cons
It is no longer primarily a people culture, it is a performance culture. This somewhat depends on your role but the company has shifted as whole. The company is aligning to sell to big business (Enterprise and Commercial). Any parts of the business that aren't aligned directly with that will feel a lack of resources and love from the company. The company paid health insurance is great but you have to be ready to pay against the larger deductibles. It is important to be aware of. There are no HSA options. Politics, theatrics, and showmanship are higher than they've ever been. If you're looking for stability, this is not the place, change is constant and forces you to stay sharp. You can choose to question and stew in it or you can adopt, adapt and get to work. External politics are now being voiced and pushed by executive leadership. I suppose this is part of "playing big" leading to IPO. Although, the reality is that politics and business go hand-in-hand these days the bigger you get. It's a complete turn-off. We get enough politics outside of work. Work should be focused on the mission of the company that we can all rally around regardless of political indifference. Don't fall in love with your company because you never know when the company may no longer need you. The company is focused on serving its own mission and vision.
