      Not open to new ideas. Hard to get a serious audience. Will ignore data that is inconsistent with prior beliefs.

      Thanks. We definitely have a fast paced environment and things move quickly. Sorry to hear you felt we’re not open to or don’t see the value in new ideas. As you might imagine with a business our size, we have to make trade offs on which ideas we do and don’t execute. We’ll look for ways to communicate better around how we incorporate and react to new ideas. I hope you found a position that’s a good fit for you. Email me directly if you have other thoughts at gruhana@peak6.com. -George

      Pros

      There are plenty of smart people and not too many jerks. Benefits are decent.

      Cons

      Too much management but too few real decision makers. Incoherent business and human resources strategy. Their best employees seem to be the ones that leave. It doesn't seem like management wants to reward the best performers.

      Politics rule over Meritocracy

      Pros

      Candy Drawer. Fridge of snacks/pop. A few extremely smart traders who are completely open to sharing thoughts and strategies.

      Cons

      Meritocracy is not rewarded and they fear taking on risk in even moderate proportions. The company is ruled by how you are perceived in many cases, and middle management is a huge mess. The traders are great, the management are not; in many instances you have to suck up to get anywhere.
