Pros

* Office space is very nice * Decent snacks and other goodies * Gym in building

Cons

There is something to be sad about sports teams that win multiple championships. These teams work so well together from the top down that their hard efforts continuously pay off. This is known as chemistry and they become known as dynasties and will forever be remembered! I make this analogy to point out how far Peak6's culture has deviated from this point! Most people tend to build relationships at their work place. This drives enthusiasm and makes working on projects extremely gratifying. To have a great culture, the people have to respect the coach, aka your leadership! I feel that the current leaders have been bullying people around for so long that they drive the best right out the door. Most importantly, they drive them straight to the competition! This puts unnecessary damage on the remaining team and chemistry dwindles away.
