Pluralsight
What's the Company Culture Like at Pluralsight?
Pluralsight Employee Perspectives
Be curious, be accountable and care about your customers. The people who thrive here are builders — they see opportunity in change and want to help shape what comes next.
What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?
I think of company values in two ways. First, am I comfortable being associated with the markets they serve and the products or services the company sells? For me that means products and services that truly aid customers, not exploit them and a corporate commitment to environmental sustainability and community support.
Second, does the company strive for and emphasize daily “ways of working” values that are important to me and limit negative behaviors? I value collaboration, personal accountability, continuous improvement and pragmatism. I don’t want to deal with office politics or personal agendas that sabotage the work environment. It’s important that the company I work for be willing and able to address the negative and foster the positive.
How does your employer show a commitment to some (or all) of these?
When I joined the company, I learned about Pluralsight One, which makes financial contributions and partners with nonprofits to provide underserved communities access to our technical skills training. But it really became clear to me how central this commitment to education and empowerment is at a recent strategy event, when over 100 team members and leaders jumped in to put together STEM project kits for students and write notes of encouragement to young learners. There was so much energy in the room!
I see evidence of how the Pluralsight culture pillars influence daily ways of working. There’s a genuine willingness to experiment with new processes to improve efficiency and our ability to deliver for customers. It’s great to see collaboration and open, candid conversations in action.
Why is it important to you that your work (and workplace leaders) share these values?
Shared values and working agreements and the commitment to uphold them, are the basis for building trust and psychological safety. Without that foundation, people cannot reliably perform well, let alone perform at their best. Ensuring that value-aligned behaviors are displayed every day, throughout the organization, is ultimately the responsibility of every leader. We must be the model that we want everyone to follow.
