Pros

- A highly entrepreneurial culture. PEAK6 is almost unique in it's desire and willingness to invest in people and opportunities that they trust. Do your research, have a well thought out plan and senior management will support you - Passion orientated - the Founders are geared towards a rare combination of investment acumen with passion. They understand that successful businesses are borne out of the people's passion for what they are trying to do. They encourage team members to find opportunities they are passionate about and then run at them hard - High integrity - decisions are based in positive intent and colleagues speak openly and honestly - Positive, cross-functional partnerships - teams happy to help each other out and go out of their way to be supportive - A powerful combination of challenging and rewarding. The company sets out a high bar and rewards those who excel - Open to feedback and improvement - a genuine humility that everyone has their own areas of strength and an interest in building and improving the company's capabilities

Cons

- Expect to be stretched and challenged. Mediocrity is not widely accepted and therefore it is an environment which you will be pushed to hit high standards - Senior management recognize that there are now a breadth of teams and services going on within the company, and working to improve things like company wide communication to ensure teams know what is happening across the business

Pros

The workspace is really nice, in a great part of the city, in a historical landmark.

Cons

The tech is substandard, the management isn't very good, the senior leadership aren't very nice.

Pros

Most of the people that work at PEAK6 is friendly and willing to help in most cases.

Cons

If you are not part of the in group you will have no chance to advance and will be used as an escape goat when something does go wrong.
