I took the interview in person, with 2 rounds happening in 2022. The first was a technical round, and the second was an HR round. It was a good experience overall. They have a really nice office in Bengaluru, and the HR team there was very pleasant.

Technical Behavioral

Had two rounds, one technical and one managerial. The overall interview process was terrible. It went well for two rounds, and then I was ghosted for a long time. HR was unreachable. After three weeks, I somehow reached another HR who asked me to wait another week. Finally, I got a polite response from HR saying there are other openings for my profile and they would help me with that. Then I was ghosted again. A small request to the HR team: please don't give false hope to candidates. Be honest, open, and kind. We are ready to accept any response. Please just respond.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was smooth and the interviewers were polite and professional. There were 3 rounds in total, and I cleared all of them, receiving good feedback from the panels. Compensation discussion was also completed. However, after all this, the HR ghosted me for over a week and then informed me that the position was closed due to infrastructure changes at the organization, which was unexpected from a company like Pluralsight. I felt bad as I was excited to join Pluralsight. I would advise the HR team to ensure this doesn't happen to others in the future, as they might have high hopes and other commitments based on a potential offer. Please avoid ghosting and inform candidates directly about the outcome, whether positive or negative, so they can plan accordingly.
