Pros

Great building and pay is reasonable if you negotiated it. When the place was empty and without people it was a pleasant experience. My team were great people, doing their best and really trying to make the place bearable (the impossible mission).

Cons

Ownership treated everyone like slaves and had them work at their whim. Any thought that you may have some ownership and control of even a small item is a lie - don't fall for it! If you negotiated great pay then good on you, if you didn't it's hard luck. The Owners start with being rude and condescending, which empowers people down the chain to do more of the same. Once the owners don't like you (personally or professionally) you may as well leave, or be prepared for hell on earth. At least two of my team quit on the spot due to bullying and no one seemed to care. I quit because I cared.

Pros

When I worked here, years ago, there were a good group of people - who sadly have all gone.

Cons

Not surprising that the same issues that plague Peak6 today are the ones that plagued the company 5y, 10y, heck - forever. 1. Too much fluff and PR - no authencity 2. Pulls levers to make themselves into something they are not - not DEI forward, low pay, toxic culture, abuse-right from the top, zero leadership etc. 3. Cares more about promoting an image then actually executing to attain that image 4. Backwards and behind the times 5. The aspirational stories by the founders seem to evolve on a yearly basis. Would not be surprised, if we hear, they invested in Apple's Series A. This stuff gets old after a while and the self promoting is a big sign on insecurity
