Pros

You can stick around for a few years to get industry experience and quit. After two years, you can briefly enjoy the fact that you have seniority over 60% of people in technology. Then, like all of your peers that left, go to a company that appreciates you, your time, and your future.

Cons

Obviously there are a few outliers, but if you haven't been fired after 3-4 years it's because you are cheap for your skill set. Lean? Teams are perpetually understaffed. If you are a hermit this may be a pro for you, but if you have a family or a personal life good luck managing the work/life balance.

Sounds like you didn’t have the best experience at PEAK6, which is disheartening. I wish you could have shared this feedback during your time here so we could learn from your feedback and ideas on how to improve work/life balance and create a better culture. I wish the best in the future and hope you found a role and company where you are happier. Thanks for sharing your feedback. Ryan Pratt
