Met with three people. They asked about my customer service experience and if I had experience/knowledge about the fintech industry. Seemed to have a very “frat bro” atmosphere, and I think both sides realized it wasn’t a good fit.
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez PitchBook (Seattle, WA) en oct. 2017
Entretien
Phone screen, on-site interview with hiring managers, mock call with hiring managers, reference check. HR was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. They definitely want to make sure they're hiring a good fit for the company.

Question 1
There were a lot of questions about overcoming objections in a sales role. There were also questions about values to gauge how the candidate fits in the culture.
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez PitchBook (Seattle, WA)
Entretien
I had a phone screen and then was selected to come into the office for an interview. This is when the issue started. I'm a passive candidate and have a full time role in CS so appointments get scheduled fast and this interview was going to take up half the day. She gives me 1 time and the parking instructions. What happened to asking when I was available? I emailed the recruiter back to let her know when I'd be available that week, she didn't respond. A week later she sends an e-mail again prompting me to schedule for an interview and I give her a time that would work well. The day before the time I gave her, she e-mails 'great see you tomorrow'. Well, without that confirmation that it was scheduled, my calendar was already booked. I e-mailed and apologized while prompting a new time the following week. She doesn't email me back for another week and then confirms that the new time would work for her. At that point, I had such a bad taste in my mouth from their clumsy recruiting that I declined to come in but thanked her for the opportunity. Your recruiters are the first touch that a potential team member gets from PitchBook- make sure that they are treated well and they will reciprocate.

Question 1
They ask a lot of questions on what PitchBook does so be prepared to know your terms! The other questions are pretty mandatory, like how you deal with multitasking etc.
