Pros

There is a robust remote-work culture, industry standard compensation (based on location), and unlimited PTO that, in my experience, employees are encouraged to take.

Cons

The marketing done by the People team created a false sense of safety when interviewing and onboarding at Pluralsight, however, the institutional racism became obvious after a month or so. The diversity and inclusion initiatives are inadequately staffed with a team of 2 responsible for managing efforts of a company of around 2,000. This leaves most of the responsibility for pushing forward inclusive agendas on the 3 recognized employee resource groups. Active ERG members carry the burden of leading initiatives on top of their normal job functions. Additionally, the federal holiday Juneteenth was not being recognized as a company-wide holiday and when inquiring about why, a leader insinuated that upper management did not believe in the holiday but that individual employees were welcome to use their unlimited PTO to take the day. It goes without saying that this leaves black and brown employees in an uncomfortable position. The people I worked with were all pleasant to be around so the pros might outweigh these cons. Putting it here for transparency.

Pluralsight Response

Thank you for the review and for sharing your concerns. I’m glad to hear that you found the remote work culture, compensation, and PTO policy satisfactory. And that you enjoyed the people you worked with. As a growing company, our diversity & inclusion efforts continue to evolve as well. Our philosophy at Pluralsight is that diversity & inclusion is not centrally owned by one team but rather owned by everyone in the organization. Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) team members are positioned and empowered to create long-term strategies that will fulfill our company’s current and future needs. They enable our leadership & team members to push forward and embed diversity & inclusion in and throughout the business. We value all of our Employee Resource Groups (ERG) and position them as an extension of our people team efforts. Our ERGs are trusted partners to our DEIB team in driving forward the work around creating a diverse and inclusive environment. In addition to the company driven efforts, we do welcome their voices, ideas and the initiatives they choose to create and lead. We recently added Juneteenth to our list of U.S. holidays (as part of our unlimited time off benefit). The process to make this shift did take some time but I can assure it was not because leadership did not believe in the importance of the day. - Will
