Dear Michal,

the glycosylation in pichia is notoriously
heterogeneous. As a result, endo H will stop cleaving
at different branch-lengths and you end up with a
mixture of truncated glycans.

You could use a glycosylation inhibitor such as
tunicamycin.

Also, a modified strain of pichia was reported to have
homogeneous glycosylation:
