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.

Pros

The funny thing is that I can't disagree with the free drinks and snacks but isn't that truly a sad overall commentary about the company? Don't be fooled by the flashy new website with all the "smiling" faces. This place is a shell of what it once was.

Cons

It's really one of the most bizarre working environments I have come across. Again, despite the seemingly "upbeat vibe" the management tries to put out it's really just a smokescreen for a cold, and cutthroat reality that faces you. Would you believe they have cameras installed virtually everywhere on the premises watching and monitoring your presence. I just can't make this stuff up I assure you.

I am disappointed to hear about your experience at PEAK6. We try to encourage debate across the organization to iterate and work through the best approach to re-frame a problem. The management team does want advice and input, and one off our core values is around acting boldly. If you are willing to share any additional feedback about your experience, please reach out to me at bgoldberg@peak6.com.
