Pros

The company succeeds across multiple businesses. I was a skeptic of some of the entrepreneurial ventures but now I am even hearing about them from friends so they are obviously working. The company remains wildly profitable over the last 3 years and continues to hire and invest in training people.

Cons

Winning has some costs and unreasonable expectations. They cut losses quickly too often when they could change some of the dead weight only and the project could succeed. They don't tolerate mistakes very well.

PEAK6 - A terrific place to work

Anonymous employee

Pros

A dynamic place to work, PEAK6 is a fast paced, high energy place. Beautiful facilities, progressive technology, small business perks (such as a fully stocked fridge and endless snacks in the kitchen) with the benefits package of a large enterprise (phenomenal health care, great pay and bonus structure, matching 401K, tuition reimbursement, etc.) and great growth potential.

Cons

PEAK6 is a numbers driven organization which expects greatness from its people. At times, the great efforts of many to maintain highly available systems goes unrecognized.

Pros

-Some of the most agile, engaged professionals I've met -Annual party was great

Cons

-CEOs create an atmosphere of belittling and fear. There is some clear anxiety issues that manifest themselves in attacks, reacting before understanding and an environment of crabs in barrel. Leadership needs leadership development desperately. No executive of color has made it past 2 years. None. Zero.
