Had a couple calls with HR. Described benefits and job descriptions, asked me to take an IQ test/assessment. Seemed a little strange, like jumping through hoops. Was not asked for further interviews.

My time interviewing with Pluralsight consisted of two interviews: an initial interview with a recruiter and a Technical Screening. They went as follows: The Initial Interview: I was invited to a zoom call with a week of lead time. I was dressed for an interview on the day of, and the recruiter called my telephone (late) instead. The interview lasted almost an hour, and I had very few opportunities to speak. I was asked a total of two questions, neither of which was terribly applicable to the job posting ("What do you do in Azure? How proficient are you at Azure?" -- Pluralsight being an AWS shop). I repeatedly tried to ask questions about the position but was interrupted each time. The majority of the dialogue was vaguely personal ruminations from the recruiter about their past job (not Pluralsight) and their current job. I didn't feel like they got any sense of me, nor if my values aligned with Pluralsight's values. At the end of the interview I did get to ask some questions, but almost none of them were answered (the recruiter didn't have any details about the position, they suggested that I'd need to save my questions for the technical interview). Apparently this interview went well, as I moved on to the next stage (a tech screening with an engineer) which was scheduled for a few days later. On the day of my interview, it was a no-show from Pluralsight/the engineer. There was no call or message explaining the no-show beforehand. The individual in charge of scheduling that I eventually reached out to was apologetic and scheduled an interview for later in the day with a different engineer. This second attempt at a tech interview was the best part of the process. The engineer I spoke with was affable, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. They suggested that I exceeded the parameters of the technical screening, and I felt that the interview/screening went especially well. They suggested that I would be hearing back soon about next steps. That being said, they were unsure of what recruiter I worked with, or who was handling my application. I provided them with the limited information I had re: recruiter/application. Two weeks later I received a boilerplate rejection letter. While it is entirely possible that I was under-qualified, or that the technical screening went more poorly than I thought (which I would understand and accept), I think it just as likely that my application was lost in the mix due to poor organization and haphazard scheduling/case tracking. Overall the experience felt unprofessional and disrespectful of my time. I've heard that Pluralsight is a good place to work, and I appreciate their mission, but I think they need to improve their recruiting/intake process.
