      Pros

      PEAK6 is an awesome company to work for. I am challenged every day and come home from work exhausted. However, I am still excited and motivated to go back in and do it all again the next day. It's a competitive atmosphere so you really have to push yourself to stand out. At PEAK6, hard work pays off. The office space is impressive and can attract people to the company on its own. The parties are even better. When I meet new people and they ask me where I work, I am proud to say PEAK6.

      Cons

      It's difficult to find any negative aspects of working for PEAK6.

      Pros

      PEAK6 is a great place to grow your skills and move forward in your career. If you put in the time and effort, you will see the results of your hard work. Don't expect to fly by under the radar. Team members are expected to be proactive, thoughtful, and driven. PEAK6 has perks and culture that some take for granted. Social events, in-office luxuries, tuition assistance, open communication - just to name a few.

      Cons

      Nothing bad to say here. The calculation of bonus compensation is somewhat fuzzy, but it is called a bonus for a reason.

      Pros

      As a company PEAK6 can be a tough place to work and has high expectations. As an employee you have hold yourself accountable for your own career and want to be challenged. PEAK6 can provide a lot of opportunity if you put the effort in and work hard. Don’t expect any handouts. PEAK6 is very open to new ideas and new ways of doing things, but you are always going to be challenged and asked if there is a better way or how can we be unique in the things we are trying to do. PEAK6 invests a lot of time in their new employees and there are a lot of really great people at PEAK6. PEAK6 is continually looking at ways to improve the culture and invest more in their employees. If you are motivated, want to be challenged and will take initiative, PEAK6 is a great place for you to learn.

      Cons

      PEAK6 as a company runs lean & there are very high expectations. If you don’t want to work hard and just skate by this isn’t the place for you, it will get noticed. In the past, there has been little focus on transparency & long term career development, both have started to improve but will need to continue down this path.

      Thanks for the feedback. I think you capture many parts of our culture – we hold ourselves to a high standard, we are self-critical about how to improve, and we look for new ways to do things. I’m happy to see the focus we are putting into more transparency and professional development is coming through. As PEAK6 diversifies and invests in new areas, we need to figure out the best way to keep each business within PEAK6 updated on broader efforts across our entire portfolio. I expect we will continue to evolve and get feedback here. If you have any specific thoughts on the level of information and/or frequency of how to share please reach out. Thanks, Brad
