Pros

Great parties. Some fun people and great technology. Interesting space to work in and plenty of money to get new equipment.

Cons

Constant turn-over. Staffing up teams just to lay most of them off again. Little regard for doing things the right way. Very demoralizing.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize that you had a negative experience at PEAK6. We strive to create an environment where every employee is empowered to share their ideas and be a part of key work efforts. Our hope is that our employees are able to benefit from that environment. In our fast-paced world, this aspect of our culture can get overlooked, which we regret if that’s what you experienced. If you have time, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on how we can improve and any actions we should take. Feel free to email me at any time at bgoldberg@peak6.com. Thanks, Brad
