Pros

Great colleagues and office events

Cons

It used be an amazing company, but the management in London has changed. The current leadership is incredibly toxic unfortunately. They say you need to hit a certain sales target to get promoted, but the management keeps promoting people who don't hit their target because they are their friends. This has lead to a very toxic environment. not to mention how much pressure they put on people to achieve these targets, only then to promote some other ones.

Thank you for your feedback. What you have described is certainly not the culture or experience we foster at PitchBook. We do have high standards for employees and always aim to apply them fairly. I encourage you to reach out to me (VP of People) or any member of the executive team to discuss your feedback.

Pros

Working with my Singapore colleagues is a blast! These folks are rock stars, and there's always something new to learn from each other. The team spirit is off the charts – it's like having a bunch of supportive friends at work!

Cons

- MD lacks APAC experience, often prioritizing personal preferences over a focus on regional dynamics. Success in sales sometimes takes a backseat to pleasing the MD of APAC, and expressing opinions can lead to a defensive response. - The APAC office's initial promise of providing localized support fell short, with APAC accounts being handled by reps in Seattle and London even after 3 quarters of joining the Singapore office. Senior leadership failed to provide clear direction for a handover, and during a call, the MD of APAC encouraged reps to maximize opportunities before passing them on to APAC reps. This approach, coupled with the expectation to hit full quotas despite small account books, highlighted a lack of support and poor management. - Rapid hiring coupled with a lack of clear direction is placing the Singapore reps at a disadvantage. This situation underscores a lack of strategic planning in the hiring process.

We are continuing to grow our Singapore office and are committed to providing localized support to our APAC clients.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. With regard to sales training, I encourage you to take advantage of the many programs we have in place and leverage your educational stipend for additional personal development support. Feel free to reach out to our Sales & CS Training team for assistance in understanding what is available to you. It is absolutely the company’s intention to ensure a fair and equitable work environment. I encourage you to come to me (VP of People), your HRBP and/or senior leadership within the CS team to discuss specific concerns about favoritism so we can address it head-on. By all accounts, the LCD integration is going extremely well – I’m curious to hear where you think it is not. I look forward to hearing from you.
