The process began with a recruiter screening followed by a hiring manager interview just two days later. The hiring manager conversation went well, and I was told feedback was positive. But after that, the experience turned into one of the worst I’ve ever had. Communication from the recruiter stopped almost completely. I followed up multiple times by email and phone, even leaving voicemails, but never received a proper response. My emails were clearly opened, but not answered. Instead, I received occasional vague promises of “updates tomorrow,” which never materialized. Weeks went by without closure. Why this was so disappointing: * I was rushed into interviews but then ignored afterwards — no balance, no respect for my time. * Feedback was contradictory: “positive” one day, silence the next. * The recruiter showed zero accountability, professionalism, or courtesy. This behavior reflects poorly not just on one individual, but on the company’s culture. The process simply died without any formal communication. No “yes,” no “no,” nothing. ****************************************************************Outcome: The process simply died without any formal communication. No “yes,” no “no,” nothing. Advice to Pluralsight: Treat candidates with respect. If you value talent, show it. Close the loop, give timely updates, and hold recruiters accountable for communication. Don’t rush people into interviews just to ghost them afterwards. Experiences like this explain why candidate and employee reviews of the company are consistently below average. From what I’ve seen, the culture feels more like a sinking ship than a healthy, growing business.
