Pros

Seeing the building in my rearview mirror.

Cons

Poor management in marketing, micromanaged, lots of attitude/poor treatment by CMO control freak, long hours without proper compensation, poor office conditions in creative department. No work/life balance. Expected to be "ON" 24/7, Extremely stressful and highly critical environment.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We read and respond to each piece of feedback on Glassdoor to try and understand how we can do better and continually improve. Our marketing team leads efforts across many businesses in our portfolio. Work is geographically dispersed, fast paced, and dynamic. The goal is to empower employees to work in the manner most efficient to accomplish business goals. It seems that this work environment was not the right fit for you, or was different than your expectations. I hope that you are able to have a better experience in your next role. We always encourage employees to have open conversations about any ideas that can improve the firm. Please reach out to either Amy Smith, our Chief People Officer at asmith@peak6.com, or to me at bgoldberg@peak6.com if there is any additional specifics you are willing to share about your experience. We strive to make every employee’s experience at PEAK6 a positive one. -Brad
