Pros
I’m going to lead this by saying I boomeranged back to PitchBook. When I left, it was over frustrations with how PitchBook managed the return to the office, but to their credit they changed course and that deserves comment. You get a lot of autonomy, which is great, especially early career. They could teach other companies how to onboard new employees. Outstanding work/life balance. There is a very strong culture here, which can be good or bad. Intentional grow from within career paths. The benefits are good.
Cons
Comp: There are a lot of reasons to work at PitchBook, but comp isn’t one of them. This is partially intentional, they tend to recruit people early in their career, grow them, and then they leave. Consequently turnover is higher then it needs to be. No equity or stock purchase plan. The culture is very UW/WSU frat house like. Lastly, most of the technical work is done offshore. The heavy emphasis on grow from within can lead to an insular management style.
