Pros

Very approachable and knowledgeable CEO. Very interesting product and relatively chilled and friendly environment.

Cons

Management with absolutely no knowledge about international markets and employees diversity, who use all its energies to boss around with no real strategy or structure, rather than giving valid tools for improving the overall performance and motivating the team to improve and acquire experience.

Thanks for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our product interesting and enjoyed our friendly working environment. We encourage all of our team to share ideas for the growth and development of the business with management, so it's great to hear that you appreciated this aspect of working at Pitchup. Many of the suggestions proposed by our team are now flourishing as new features on our website, additional team benefits or better internal processes. With more than 10 nationalities at Pitchup, we greatly value the unique perspective, knowledge and experience brought by each and every member of our team, which is 75% female. Many at Pitchup, particularly those with young children, work from home on a part-time basis, and we've a been a strong advocate of flexible working since the company launched in 2009. We are sorry to hear your comments about the level of knowledge of international markets and strategy. Our management team is looking into these issues. Typically we can address such issues more rapidly if raised during your time at the company but we will be re-evaluating our approach in response to your feedback. In common with most client-focused roles, we set targets which are calculated in a transparent manner and intended to be both fair and motivational to our team, ensuring the needs of the business are also met. As a result we are currently seeing growth of around 40%. Employee development at Pitchup continues to be a priority for us, and we will be introducing new measures to further enhance knowledge and experience over the coming months.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your feedback, as it provides valuable insights into areas where we can improve and better meet the needs of our employees. At Pitchup, we are committed to creating a positive work environment, and we want to address the concerns you've raised. 1. We understand the importance of professional growth and development. We facilitate career discussions both formally during the appraisal process and informally through regular one-on-one sessions with managers. We believe in providing our employees with the tools and support they need to thrive in their roles. 2. While specific roles may not have been available, we encourage ongoing discussions about career goals and opportunities. 3. All our sales team participated in our first external 4 month extensive sales training program to enhance professional development and enhance individual skill sets. 4. Compensation is a topic we take seriously. We regularly benchmark and review our salary structures to ensure they align with industry standards. Any specific concerns about compensation are discussed with our management team and HR team directly so that we can address individual circumstances. 5. We are committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement. While we strive to implement changes promptly, some changes may require careful consideration to ensure they align with our overall business strategy. Thank you again for sharing your perspective.
