Is this the 9th layer of hell (with fancy art)? - Anonymous PEAK6 Employee Review

Pros

Great building and pay is reasonable if you negotiated it. When the place was empty and without people it was a pleasant experience. My team were great people, doing their best and really trying to make the place bearable (the impossible mission).

Cons

Ownership treated everyone like slaves and had them work at their whim. Any thought that you may have some ownership and control of even a small item is a lie - don't fall for it! If you negotiated great pay then good on you, if you didn't it's hard luck. The Owners start with being rude and condescending, which empowers people down the chain to do more of the same. Once the owners don't like you (personally or professionally) you may as well leave, or be prepared for hell on earth. At least two of my team quit on the spot due to bullying and no one seemed to care. I quit because I cared.
