The challenge
The turning point: quality over quantity
Initially, WEX split its learning stack between two providers, maintaining only a small footprint of 300 Pluralsight licenses. However, the choice was clear when observing where engineers naturally gravitated to develop their skills.
This organic demand prompted leadership to perform a rigorous evaluation of Pluralsight, focusing not just on the breadth of topics, but on the depth of expertise behind them.
This commitment to consistency and excellence, with the added bonus of multi-lingual offerings for a global company, convinced WEX to migrate its entire tech organization to Pluralsight, scaling from 300 to 1,500 users.
It was amazing to see how eager engineers were to join Pluralsight—both for the quality of the content and the ability to benchmark their technical skills through tools like Skill IQ.

The solution
Learning by doing with labs and sandboxes
True tech fluency requires more than passive video consumption. To drive innovation, WEX prioritized hands-on application, particularly as teams began exploring AI. This philosophy was crucial for AI adoption. By providing a risk-free environment, WEX empowered its developers to experiment without constraints.
Labs are a great opportunity, especially to try something and learn, because when we think about technology, watching videos isn't enough on its own—real learning requires hands-on experimentation.

Beyond the platform
Strategic partnership
For WEX, Pluralsight is not just a platform; it is a strategic partner. The support provided by the account team ensures that learning initiatives remain aligned with business goals and that teams feel consistently supported. This partnership extends beyond content delivery to include SRE upskilling challenges and proactive office hours, creating a robust support structure.
What is very special here, besides the platform, besides the quality of the course, is the experience—how the Pluralsight team is there for me. Every month, bringing ideas.

The results
Growth for the business and the individual
The impact of this approach is measurable. Driven by active video learning and lab usage, annual tech team engagement on Pluralsight soared to over 70%, surpassing the company’s 60% benchmark. WEX is now focusing on agentic AI, building learning paths for tools like GitHub Copilot, and expanding access to additional teams.
For organizations ready to scale their learning programs, Mayara’s advice is straightforward:
Focus on building a culture where learning directly supports career progression. When developers are given the tools to continuously build relevant skills, it creates a measurable impact on both their professional growth and the organization’s capabilities.
Pluralsight is a tool that has added a lot to my knowledge! I can see huge growth in my technical expertise with the tools I work with, thanks to Pluralsight.
