PEAK6 Response
9yI’m genuinely sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience at PEAK6. It’s especially discouraging to hear that you feel you were micromanaged and that we weren’t thoughtful around providing transparency behind staffing decisions. As an entrepreneurial firm, we are continually seeking new ideas and investment opportunities to diversify our businesses. It’s very much a part of our plan and our goal is that these new businesses can serve as opportunities for employees to expand their responsibilities and get exposure to new learning. Sorry to hear that this wasn’t your perception of how things go at PEAK6. We certainly want to see employees thrive, grow and develop and be happy when they come to work. In our experience, successful employees at PEAK6 tend to be proactive, ambitious and accountable, and openly communicate — especially when they encounter issues. If you have time, I would greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts on how we can improve and any actions you feel we should take to improve our culture. Feel free to email me at any time at rpratt@peak6.com.
Thanks,
Ryan Pratt
