Does not care about employees

Pros

NON-MANAGEMENT Team members. That’s it.

Cons

- Over hires good people, treats them like trash once they realize that and sales number falls due to said over hiring. - Management does not care about individual workers unless you’re consistently hitting quota. Will not give you ample time and a chance to improve. - Discrimination. I get it. Performing reps should get extra attention. But not caring at all about the reps that don’t hit is not a way to treat employees. - Not appreciative of efforts put in during good market. Once market condition gets bad, they change the entire process that hurts the reps because they need to layoff people but doesn’t want to be a “bad guy.” So they bank on the fact that reps will fail and they’ll have a reason to fire reps for “underperforming.” Even for reps that have been hitting quota consistently before the change. - Lies. They tell reps that people get promoted in a year. 2/3 of the team has been in their role for more than a year and not only are they up for promotion, they don’t have openings for them to move up to. For context, these reps were performing well. - Unfair treatment. They let a rep who was not hitting quota for more than 7 months stay on the team, but when a different rep did hit quota for 7 months and missed two months, they threatened to let them go.

Pros

A lot of options for career development. Leadership and teammates really care for each other and want the best for their people.

Cons

Biggest con is pay and lack of flexibility. The current role for my team is required to be in 5 days/week and all managers are required to be in 5 days/week. Leaderships says they are “listening” to feedback but there’s not a lot of traction or things moving forward. They say they believe in work/life balance but everyone is getting considerably less sleep, seeing their families less, and yet performing at the same level as when we were working from home. PitchBook has the best of intentions but at the end of the day they care more about their in office culture than their peoples health and work life balance.

Pros

Good culture, young, collaborative, fun atmosphere to be in. Develop people skills.

Cons

The role is not what is it made out to be. No analytical component, pure data entry. Internal system is terrible and has no ability to scale. Compensation is the worst I have seen in Seattle. Management continues to say they are going to improve things, but nothing gets done. Research had the worst rating in the company for employee happiness. The company looks to save every penny at the expense of employees.
