Pros

Private Equity International is a financial media group that offers coverage of the alternative asset classes through digital and print editorial content, conferences and capital markets – focused research. Like any business that is on a growth trajectory, there have been growing pains that ranged from personnel churn to lagging technology upgrades. PEI management has recognized these shortcomings and has begun to focus more on their people, which is a good thing. Quarterly firm – wide updates, encouraging employee – engagement outside of the office in the form of happy hours, lunches and movie nights has fostered a unique, friendly and helpful culture that continues to proliferate throughout the firm. PEI management is also working to offer more linear career paths for its employees and encourages upward mobility into different business lines with upper management potential. I have been with the firm for almost 7 years and have worked in numerous business verticals, receiving promotions and increased responsibility along the way. I have learned much about what is typically an opaque asset class and have also greatly expanded my professional and social networks. I would recommend PEI to anyone who is looking for an entrepreneurial opportunity in a fast – paced company with a potential for career progression.

Cons

Inter-departmental communication can be improved. Clients can become frustrated as they are contacted by numerous sales people in different departments for different products / business-lines. Management is aware of this and are working on ways in which to streamline.

Thank you for this comment. Please do come and talk to me more about this if you can - particularly the concern about too many P&L's making it difficult for different businesses to work in strategic alignment. 2018 will see us seek to advance with much greater shared knowledge and affinity for brand positions/strategic allignment - we recognise that some of our great brands will grow better if we address the market opportunity for both subscription product values and events product values by considering our opportunities on a 'total market' level. If you've more to say on this topic - I'd love to hear it. We've got more to do to allign some of our cross-market sales approaches - but you will have noted investments we've made in group sales management in the past year and might also be aware of the data strategy investment which will help us be more 'joined up' in our go to market approach as we develop. Happy to tell you more. Tim McLoughlin - CEO

Leads come in through CRM and you have a bunch

Cons

Some of the verticals are just bad compared to others and the quota doesn’t reflect that.
