Pros

- Great perks pre/post COVID - Bonus/Commissions are above industry standard - There will be Socials to ensure people are bonding

Cons

- Lacking of Transparency; Company kept telling everybody that we are fine, but there are making worrying decisions (ie revoke internal promotion, cancelling Christmas party, social budgets) signs that budgets are cutting from all angle - Regional offices: As long as you’re not in the US, you have minimal influence onto decisions. “Top management” in regional office are being seen as messengers, not to mention middle management, - Aggressive budgeting: The inability to budget properly taking in the fact of external environment, threats etc has such a big impact, resulting in a huge gap at Sales and CS team. Lack of management talent: There are great managers at PitchBook. But there are some that are simply not doing much. Managers come to meetings unprepared, quite a few of them hasn’t been able to gain respect in the office.

Pros

Solid product, talented peers, and meaningful exposure to the private markets. You can build useful skills in account management and other customer-facing roles. Many individual contributors are smart, capable, and supportive of one another.

Cons

The biggest risk here is not the product or the day-to-day work - it is leadership. In some offices and teams, senior leaders create an environment where trust is low, expectations are inconsistent, and favoritism or perception can matter more than performance. Instead of clear direction and constructive support, employees are often left dealing with shifting standards, mixed messages, and a culture where appearances matter too much. Basic respect is not always there, and some leaders rely on intimidation rather than good management. Speaking up, asking questions, or challenging something professionally does not always help and can sometimes work against you. This is especially hard on strong performers. Taking on more usually leads to more pressure, not more support or recognition. Once leadership forms a negative view of someone, it can be difficult to change, even when that person is delivering results. Over time, the environment can feel political, discouraging, and draining. The result is predictable: burnout, disengagement, and avoidable turnover. A number of talented people have left not because they were incapable, but because the leadership culture made the job unsustainable.
