Too bureaucratic for its own good

Pros

Annual band party ( founders hire big time band like goo goo dolls to perform)

Cons

Company touts "frugality" as a plus...including compensation Has become a bureaucratic organization ....large but layers of people who don't always grasp how their roles help the greater picture

Thanks for your feedback. At PEAK6 we do want people to spend the firm’s money like it’s their own. We want everyone to be financially responsible. I am disappointed to hear you feel the firm has gotten bureaucratic, that’s certainly not aligned with our core values. I’d welcome an opportunity to talk with you about your experience so I can help get things corrected. Feel free to reach out to me directly at bgoldberg@peak6.com.

Awesome company

Pros

You get access to some of the best and brightest people. High energy, entrepreneurial firm that is always thinking of how to do things better/differently. Collaborative teams, great space, and outstanding holiday parties (Flo Rida was the entertainment this year!). Benefits are also really good.

Cons

Financial services requires a lot of security, for good reason. If you haven't worked in a regulated environment the amount of security and restrictions to data might be unexpected.
