THEY MAKE THE EMPLOYEES WRITE GLOWING REVIEWS. Great product, terrible culture. Wolf of Wall Street Wannabes!
Pros
- Like the title says, the product itself is great. - Sales has a clearly defined process, with well-sequenced steps. - Salary isn't what I'd call generous, but it's a lot better than flipping burgers. - Some tentative steps towards creating a cohesive company culture by the time I left.
Cons
All the super-positive reviews on here without a single 'con' are totally fake. They made me write one while I worked there gushing about how great the company and the CEO is. I had to write it while my boss read it over my shoulder. - Hyper-American sales culture. Push push push! It felt like being a used car salesman, not at all like the consultation-style sales of luxury goods or other big-ticket items. People who came from that type of background were generally appalled. Honestly it felt pretty tacky. I'm not sure if that's a culture clash because of UK setting for a US company. - This carried over into employee management. Everything was automated, laptops were monitored, every action was logged. There was a 'leader board' for a time. Other employees had come from environments where it was even worse; employers can be very keen on public shaming for not making targets. So for employees used to that, Pitchbook felt like paradise! But if you're used to being treated like a human, you're outta luck. - Culture driven by the CEO who from what I can gather has very low emotional intelligence. - Culture also driven by the US where there are zero workers rights. The fact that Brits get paid holidays and company pensions caused a bit of a shock. - Just saw there's a 'diversity and inclusion' rating. Ha!
