Pros
Young employees keeps this office light and fun. Everyone is really smart and a go-getter in their department, which makes for an equal balance of collaborative and motivationally-competitive atmosphere. Free beer in the office doesn't hurt, either. Really solid health benefits with flexibility for preferences. The training upon employment is stellar. I knew nothing about the finance industry when PitchBook brought me onto the sales team, and now I can talk shop with most industry pros if our paths crossed outside of PitchBook's walls. They foster development, as well, which is great for a younger person fresh out of college or grad school to lay the foundation for a career.
Cons
Within my position, my commission isn't 100% determined by me, which is really frustrating some months. Also, without any commission help, after taxes, I pull in about 28k, which is absolutely laughable--it's not a livable wage in Seattle. PitchBook has had--and continues to have--problems with recruiting and retaining talent, and I think a lot of it has to do with the salary situation. Furthermore, during the hiring process, I was promised advancement and/or mobility between departments after about 6-8 months. This isn't real; I was strung along for months regarding a promotion/pay raise, and I was definitely eligible. Communication between departments needs improvement, but that's typical within a younger company as it goes through growing pains.
