Takes time to see through the smoke and mirrors! - Anonymous employee PEAK6 Employee Review

Nothing is what it seems here, bizarro world. Privileged individuals have no rules therefor are free to do as they please. Say what they want. Do what they want. Others sit around typing on keyboards patiently waiting for their superior ruler to come down after long non-inclusive meetings, and completely rip apart their efforts and send them on a wild duck hunt in the wrong direction. For days! In Peak6 terminology this equates to an "agile process". Then some lucky people receive gifts and those in true Peak6 fashion are known as "performance plans". Once you receive this gift, you might as well start sending out your resume. There is no recovering from this. These gifts come from left field kind of like their “verifiable market information” does. Managers will talk, never to include the actual employee that did the original work ever again. Although you won't have any idea what is going on, you will forever deal with the repercussions for your "meaningful contributions" to the firm. This in Peak6 terminology is known as "expanding responsibilities". Lets continue on down the shady road. After some time the management will consider rehiring for current roles while the people are still employed. The new hires like always are treated well, fair and with care! Once the person they are hired to replace quits then and only then will you start to see through the smoke and mirrors. You might also be asked to write a review on this very site well before you experience the truth!
