Open and encouraging environment

Pros

Decent level of flexibility and independence is given to employees responsible for profit generation.

Cons

Sometimes high expectations are given without tangible support or guidance. Almost like a double-edged sword. Employee talent can be underdeveloped as they can end up spending an inordinate amount of time working on something less ideal just because it's useful for someone higher up.

Thanks for taking the time to provide a review about your time at PEAK6. It’s good to hear that you felt empowered. I agree that we have high expectations for people and we do want people to work in a self-directed way. We want to give people space to think things through so there is a balance with giving too much guidance or we don’t see independent thinking. I’m disappointed that you feel that either you (or others) wasted time on something that wasn’t clear if it was useful. I’d hope situations like this trigger a question for someone to ask how something might be used. The answer could be that it is really important and it wasn’t explained well upfront; or it could be that it’s an old report and isn’t used and based on someone pushing to make better we don’t need it any more. If you have any other specific thoughts please feel free to reach out directly to me at bgoldberg@peak6.com. Thanks, Brad
