      Good campus program, subpar overall

      Pros

      The campus program(where a lot of the tech leads emerged from) is great for those coming out of college to get comfortable and hone their skills in a professional environment. The folks you work with on a day to day manner are generally awesome and great to work with.

      Cons

      Despite their claims of being a tech first firm it’s abundantly clear that this is not the case . Upper management is unwilling to adapt to the evolving market and value employees accordingly. Peak6 tries to use a agile and product mindset but does so in a very ineffective manner which frustrates engineers and inhibits tech growth.

      Pros

      Seeing the building in my rearview mirror.

      Cons

      Poor management in marketing, micromanaged, lots of attitude/poor treatment by CMO control freak, long hours without proper compensation, poor office conditions in creative department. No work/life balance. Expected to be "ON" 24/7, Extremely stressful and highly critical environment.

      Negative themes are a problem

      Pros

      Free snacks, cool, extravagant parties. Smallish firm, so a lot of opportunity to learn and do a bunch of stuff.

      Cons

      The themes of the tons of other negative glassdoor reviews are all true, but I think it can be boiled down to this: PEAK6 does not care about their employees, despite making a big deal over how much they do. Read back to reviews from early 2016 - you'll see a bunch of glowingly ones in the middle of tons of negative. The reason is that PEAK6 felt concerned about their employer brand image, and instead of paying attention to the poor reviews and finding ways to address the concerns (low pay, poor management/leadership, limited career progression, lack of transparency) - they asked all current employees to please write reviews - "positive or negative" - but positioned in the context of needing to improve the GD image. This is representative of everything that is wrong with PEAK6 - until upper management starts listening and taking real, meaningful action, nothing will change. Actions speak louder than words, and employees will invariably lose faith in this broken system.
