      Pros

      I worked at Peak6 for more than 5 years. A lot of the people there were great. They really hire talent. From department to department, there were people who really knew their job.

      Cons

      After a while, it seemed like decisions weren't as well thought out. Direction of the firm and side projects didn't go as well as the core business.

      Needs to Improve

      Pros

      Small firm culture means that you get to work on some pretty cool projects and jump into things you wouldn’t have the chance to at other places. Office space is awesome. Free food, great parties & events. You get the chance to work with some really smart people.

      Cons

      The negative comments in other reviews are basically all true. Feedback/direction from leadership is all over the place, and it’s usually conflicting. Put this along with micromanagement at both the management and leadership levels and it can be very frustrating to get things done. There is a lack of respect for employees, and the general message is that anyone/everyone is replaceable. But probably the worst part is that this feedback has been given to managers/leadership for years now, and nothing ever changes and bad managers are not held accountable.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you find that you have opportunity at PEAK6. As a small, entrepreneurial firm, we want our culture to be one where every employee has an opportunity to grow, develop and try new things. So I’m glad to hear that you experienced that while here. Of course, I’m disheartened to hear that you feel there was a lack of respect for employees. I do appreciate your points about a lack of feedback and communication – those are both are areas we continue to strive to improve. If you would like to share more about how you think we can be better there, I’d be very interested in hearing your ideas. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at jkunreuther@peak6.com. -Jason

      Not Great

      Pros

      Direct supervisors were very kind and helpful

      Cons

      The company/upper management was more concerned with the volume of work completed rather than the quality. They pretended to care about quality and were constantly reprimanding employees for poor quality and mistakes, but would not change anything to allow employees to focus on quality. They were also very disorganized and the job description kept changing.
