Pros

Thanks to the layoff, I had/have a huge amount of interest from other organizations to hire me and I was able to land a new job within 2 weeks and increase my base salary by $40K (33%).

Cons

Pay is not competitive given I was supposedly at the top end of my pay range at Pluralsight yet I took another SaaS job at the same title and am making a third more. For prospective candidates, know that Pluralsight will be posting a number of roles very similar to the ones people were laid off from. The pay will be less. There will be no RSUs. So if you take the job, just know, you're being undervalued so Pluralsight Execs can keep there 7 figure salaries and *maybe* hit EBITA. Executive leadership is fake, I've never worked with a faker group of people and Aaron might as well be made out of plastic. And those 5-star reviews posted after Dec 12 are fake. You know who's posting those, don't be fooled. The business loves to use its values to its favor and changes the tune based on what they need to achieve to meet Vista's goals, so know the values are toxic. I can keep going but hoping this helps prospective candidates know what they're getting themselves into if they sign with Pluralsight post-Dec 12, 2022.
