      Pros

      Great parties. Some fun people and great technology. Interesting space to work in and plenty of money to get new equipment.

      Cons

      Constant turn-over. Staffing up teams just to lay most of them off again. Little regard for doing things the right way. Very demoralizing.

      Pros

      I think that the collaborative culture, and the fact that everyone there is so nice makes PEAK6 a great place to work. Also the work was incredibly intellectually engaging.

      Cons

      The only cons I can think of would be that the office was far from where I lived, and the commute was a pain.

      Sad place, fading culture

      Pros

      * Office space is very nice * Decent snacks and other goodies * Gym in building

      Cons

      There is something to be sad about sports teams that win multiple championships. These teams work so well together from the top down that their hard efforts continuously pay off. This is known as chemistry and they become known as dynasties and will forever be remembered! I make this analogy to point out how far Peak6's culture has deviated from this point! Most people tend to build relationships at their work place. This drives enthusiasm and makes working on projects extremely gratifying. To have a great culture, the people have to respect the coach, aka your leadership! I feel that the current leaders have been bullying people around for so long that they drive the best right out the door. Most importantly, they drive them straight to the competition! This puts unnecessary damage on the remaining team and chemistry dwindles away.
