Pros

The health insurance, and some of my co-workers (some of whom were also being treated badly), were the only positive things about my stay at Peek.

Cons

It's no surprise that the positive reviews on here are from people not on the frontlines in customer support. Absolutely no shocker there. I'd been there a month before they laid off a large portion of their support staff. For months, I took the most phone calls and was thanked so much for my hard work, like I had a choice. The support team has been short staffed since at least August, and it was someone's brilliant business decision to make them run the place for low pay, while the rest of the company peaces out for two weeks during the holidays. Management is kind to your face, gives you unsolicited advice "as a friend", then turns around and stabs you in the back. Don't trust these people with your personal life, no matter how sweet you initially think they are. They will use it against you when you want to take the paid time off that is part of your pay as an employee. They'll say they'd understand if your dad were sick again and you wanted to spend that time off with him, but any other reason is unacceptable. They will approve that time off anyway, "the ball is in your court", and then they will fire you when you get back. The company itself makes ridiculous decisions, including but not limited to completely switching over clients' methods of receiving payment right before the holiday season. Did I mention yet that everyone left for 2 weeks during the holiday? Yeah. Those people were calling, yelling at us for weeks and there was nothing we could do but let them know that they'd receive their payment once anyone was back in the office to fix it. Constructive feedback is violently thrown back in your face, so keep a low profile, and try not to screw up anything on a phone call if you don't want to be auto-failed for being human. Or just run far, far away. Drive for a ride share or something.

High burnout rate!

Pros

The first year is fun then you realize how frustrated and burnt out the team really is.

Cons

High burnout rate due to lack of vacation time-Peek’s work life balance is not as strong as other tech companies. Ten days total PTO between January and mid December. Two week company shutdown the last two weeks of December which is the most terrible time to travel The base salary is low and the equity package is a embarrassing. Maternity/Paternity is insulting to a new parent No career plan No established levels within the business

Pros

Great product that sells itself Fun industry to work in Good place to start SAAS if you haven’t already

Cons

Upper management is too distant from the offices and stays distant from most decisions until they decide to force their input on subjects they know little about because of their distancing... They don’t value long term employees so it becomes a “stepping stone” job for something better (as stated by founder). This makes it hard to want to stay long term. They ask more from you for the same or less pay. They don’t fight to keep hard working talent but rather think that anyone is easily replaceable and fire people for looking elsewhere instead of fighting to keep them happy. Compensation for the sales team changes frequently (4-5 times during 2019/2020). This makes it hard to be successful because your objectives are constantly changing. Their hiring is questionable. One hire will be a rockstar, the next will be completely incompetent. That makes for incompetent employees that make work life difficult. (This goes for peers and managers, ex director of sales, rockstar. Lead manager under him who was hired shortly after, completely incompetent). Upper management doesn’t know their team and thus refuses to promote from within. This is demoralizing for the team and the reason why so many of their top talent finds work elsewhere (also the reason for multiple incompetent managers being hired/fired). Several years back when executives were more involved they hired from within but that hasn’t happened in years.
