Pros

As a company PEAK6 can be a tough place to work and has high expectations. As an employee you have hold yourself accountable for your own career and want to be challenged. PEAK6 can provide a lot of opportunity if you put the effort in and work hard. Don’t expect any handouts. PEAK6 is very open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, but you are always going to be challenged and asked if there is a better way or how can we be unique in the things we are trying to do. PEAK6 invests a lot of time in their new employees and there are a lot of really great people at PEAK6. PEAK6 is continually looking at ways to improve the culture and invest more in their employees. If you are motivated, want to be challenged and will take initiative, PEAK6 is a great place for you to learn.

Cons

PEAK6 as a company runs lean & there are very high expectations. If you don’t want to work hard and just skate by this isn’t the place for you, it will get noticed. In the past, there has been little focus on transparency & long term career development, both have started to improve but will need to continue down this path.

Thanks for the feedback. I think you capture many parts of our culture – we hold ourselves to a high standard, we are self-critical about how to improve, and we look for new ways to do things. I’m happy to see the focus we are putting into more transparency and professional development is coming through. As PEAK6 diversifies and invests in new areas, we need to figure out the best way to keep each business within PEAK6 updated on broader efforts across our entire portfolio. I expect we will continue to evolve and get feedback here. If you have any specific thoughts on the level of information and/or frequency of how to share please reach out. Thanks, Brad
