Well organised and extremely efficient process. Friendly engagement with timelines and expectations clearly outlined from the start. Regular updates and progress reports were provided thereafter. Very positive experience from my point of view.

Screening call with the recruiter, followed by a virtual interview with the hiring manager(s), final interview with the VP of Customer Success. My initial engagements with the recruiter and hiring manager both went very well and I felt that Pluralsight was a great place for me to be and was excited to be able to speak with the VP in the final round. My conversation with her was going well and I was asked 3 scenario questions which I think I answered well, this took about 10mins of a 30min session. She then allowed me to ask questions for the remainder to which I started by asking what brought her to Pluralsight as she had just joined a couple of months prior and followed up by asking what she thought the biggest opportunity was for Pluralsight over the next 6-12months. As I was getting ready to ask another question she abruptly ended the call and thanked me for my time. I am unsure as to what I may have done to prompt that reaction but it was clear at that point that the role would not be coming to me. In hindsight I was asking about compensation with the recruiter prior to this meeting which potentially may have soured her perspective of me, but I did not feel I was being anything but transparent and communicative on that aspect and when I was informed there was not room to negotiate, that was not a deal breaker for myself. The first two legs of the interview were really enjoyable and the last aspect did leave a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth, so as a result I marked my experience overall as neutral. I would suggest though that if a candidate is only being interviewed as a formality (as this felt to me) it is in the best interest of the candidate and employer to have that communicated. I'd have no ill-will being told that given the complexity of the current job market and this would provide a higher level of credibility to the company to take this route in my opinion. I think the company has a great platform and while in a rebuilding phase with a new CEO some growing pains are to be expected. I would just suggest to remember that candidates are also in a rough spot in the job market and empathy can be applied both ways.
