PitchBook reviews

Management and processes are super unprofessional and inefficient. Management and a lot of higher ups are stuck in their ways and unwilling to change. You might have an amazing idea that improves PitchBook or an overall process, but higher ups will always think they know better which makes innovation hard. There is no trust in employees which makes micromanaging run rampant. In all honesty, I think there will be a breaking point where higher ups will seriously need to reevaluate how they conduct business at PitchBook in order to stay competitive and retain the great people that they hire.

1. Salary/Total Comp very low: Across the board (but more so in some departments than others) total comp is below market. PitchBook will tell you its competitive and at every company-wide meeting leadership will bat down this topic every single time. Truth is that everyone is underpaid and they use "gaining experience" as the justification to pay less. Oh and try having a conversation about your comp relative to your responsibilities. 2. Leadership: This varies greatly by department, but there are plenty of people who were in the right place at the right time and now find themselves in key roles for which they have little experience or qualification. This is problematic because they can't mentor their reports nor can they do their job. They keep getting promoted because they're part of the old PB club and have been around long enough. Good luck working under one of these people, you can kiss your chances for any kind of advancement or recognition goodbye. They're not leaving anytime soon. 3. Career Paths/Advancement: No professional development or career path at PitchBook. No obvious career track outside of advancement from very low-pay entry-level to some type of menial office work earning slightly more. 4. Remote Working: There is no work from home at PitchBook. I repeat, how dare you even consider working from home? By extension, eight hours of office face time is requisite. It doesn't matter what you are doing, but 8 hours of your day better be at PitchBook. Most people don't even have laptops so you couldn't work from home if you wanted to. This is all justified by the need to "create a culture and interact with our colleagues" but the real reason is that leadership doesn't trust people to do work if they are not in-office. Pretty sad.
