juking the stats - Anonymous employee PEAK6 Employee Review

Company focus is on perception management. If they put half the effort they've put into up'ing their glassdoor ratings into fixing the actual problems (which have been thoroughly covered in other glass door reviews) they might make some progress. The truth is harsh though: Peak6 has one of the worst reputations in Chicago finance. Anyone with talent/options typically doesnt stay very long. Dealing with the management (IT in particular) is an onerous undertaking and the infrastructure is fragile to boot. They can only entice people who dont have the connections to initiate a conversation with current or ex employees (translation: clueless college kids). Pay attention to the consistent pattern here of three positive reviews that follow any one star review.
