Pros
PitchBook is great because the people are great. Nearly everyone on every team is accommodating, sharp and dedicated to the company. Most of the team is young and exceptionally talented which translates to a constantly engaging work environment. If you are looking for a company to launch your career, gain invaluable experience, work with an amazing team and be professionally challenged, PitchBook is it.
Three important things to know when considering a role at PitchBook:
1. Your colleagues will be for you. PitchBook, across all teams, is hugely collaborative and everyone is willing to help, teach and challenge each other.
2. Your work will make a difference. Admittedly, some roles are more mundane than others but because the company continues to grow rapidly, there is always something to do. Many teams have established career paths and for most employees, the opportunity is what you make it. One of my favorite PB stories is of a colleague who in 3 years time, created a new department and continues to grow a team under her.
3. The culture cannot be beat. Although the company culture continues to evolve, you can still count on having fun at work. The management team has put in a ton of effort into keeping their teams connected and engaged. You can plan on regular company events, impromptu gatherings and team happy hours.
Cons
PitchBook continues to grow rapidly and it is no surprise that one of the biggest challenges is scaling. The company growth goals are aggressive and at times this means there is too much to do without adequate support. I fully believe that as the management team grows and key positions are filled, issues like communication, professional development and internal resources will be addressed.
