Pros

The people you work with are great, a lot of opportunity for growth and development, and the company events and "gifts" are always fun

Cons

Over the last year, we have seen a lot of change like everyone else. While we had zero flexibility pre-covid when it comes to WFH, people hoped to have and provided feedback as to why continued flexibility post-covid was important to them to which leadership responded "we hear you but we think we are better in office" after record setting quarters. With many people on the outs, moral is down and people feel uncomfortable sharing their opinions even though historically it was always easy to share your feelings and feel heard. You'd think with one of the core company values, they would be more open to embracing and driving change, but instead feel that their opinion is more important than listening to employee's feelings and concerns.

Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry you are not feeling heard. Over the last year, our team’s ability to adapt and execute in a fully remote work environment has been extremely impressive. However, we feel it’s important to spend some time reestablishing our company culture and integrating the over 300 new employees hired during the pandemic. Bringing all employees back in the office means our new hires can experience our unique company culture and seek professional relationships with tenured PitchBook employees. In-office work provides opportunities for employees to connect with others outside their teams and encourages collaboration and open discourse. We’re constantly evaluating, and reevaluating based on the new information we receive, and we will continue to ask for and listen to feedback from employees.

Pros

I thought a long time about posting a review on this site, since I prefer to share positive experiences vs. negative ones. However, during my interview process, I was pointed towards this websites by current employees who wanted to let me know of the work environment without getting in trouble. I was taken aback after reading the reviews, but I assumed the reviews were posted by a few incompetent folks who were let go and I didn’t take them to heart. I am choosing to share my experience, because I hope well-educated job seekers will see my post and think twice before accepting a position at PitchBook Data, Inc. Starting with the positives: There are many lovely and intelligent people working at PitchBook The product is close to its nearest competitors in terms of feature-sets and price

Cons

Stated plainly, it has the worst managerment I have ever worked with. The negativity and micro-management permeate the entire organization and have stunted the growth of an otherwise decent start-up. He treats others in a blatantly disrespectful manner. I have personally experienced this and I have seen it happen to many others. The people who have worked there for a long time are afraid of him and they make jokes about it, but it is beyond unacceptable. There is a generous ONE WEEK Maternity. This is not a culture that values work/ life balance. The internet is on lockdown because people are not trusted to do their work. The hiring philosophy is to hire kids right out of college and work them to the bone because you can get them cheap and they don't know that people are not treated like this at real companies. When I was "let go", I was offered 2 weeks severance in exchange for signing an agreement saying that I would not say negative things about the company, and it specifically called out this website, because negative press has been such an issue for PitchBook and John in the past. Every offense would have been punishable by a "$25,000 liquidated breach". Obviously, I didn't sign it. PitchBook has been unable to keep sales and marketing leadership due to management issues and from my personal experience they do not value or respect sales and marketing people. ...I could go on, but my goal in posting is not to vent but to deter smart, capable people from making the mistake of working here. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

Pros

Great coworkers — collaborative, smart, and genuinely supportive teammates Solid work–life balance compared to many sales and SaaS environments Strong, well-respected product that’s easy to stand behind with clients Good training and onboarding, especially early in the role

Cons

Poor leadership overall. Many managers were unmotivating, dismissive of top talent, and quick to point out failures while rarely acknowledging success. Lack of transparency and communication, even at the manager level. Important information was shared late or abruptly, hurting morale and operational flow.
