Pros

Incredible talent, driven teams, fun and collaborative culture. Lots of energy here, and it's contagious. Be willing to work hard and bring your best, grit is required. You will be inspired by those around you and have the full support of amazing talent to ensure you succeed and grow here.

Cons

It's a startup, and can be very demanding on time and draining at times. Part of the growing pains at any small company that asks a lot of its employees. The bar is high here, but you're better for it in the long run.

Pros

The team of bright, passionate, hard working people really makes it a great place to be. The founding team cares a lot about the company, feedback can be openly shared and decisions get made quickly. Weekly team picnics where other customers, startup founders and key players in the local travel industry are brought in to share their stories is a nice perk that helps everyone learn. Opportunities for career growth are emerging as the company matures. Its both professional and genuinely fun.

Cons

Growing pains. There's not enough people to do every job in every department well and key processes are still evolving. Most people are too busy to help with anything outside of their core job. You have to manage up here.

Great Startup with a lot of Potential

Pros

Peek has an awesome collaborative environment. After just a few weeks, you'll notice a very strong bond between yourself and your coworkers, so it is a great community, and you definitely feel like you're in the trenches together. As some mentioned, it's a fast-paced startup, so you will be working closely with pretty much every group (if not all groups) at some point or another. Dinner is served most nights (M - W when I worked there), and there are "Peek Academies" (similar to a lunch and learn), in which CEOs and founders of other companies come in to talk about the trials and tribulations of launching a company. There are also lots of outside team bonding activities (scavenger hunts, etc...) that are a lot of fun. I'd have to say that I definitely would not have gotten my post-Peek job without my experience at Peek. In a little over a year, I definitely learned more than I have at any other job in the past, and I feel well-set in terms of professional trajectory. My boss and peers were amazing to work with and were always there if I needed to voice any concerns or issues I was having. Your work has a direct impact on the company and achieving strategic goals, which is great. All in all, a great startup that's growing like crazy (every time I visit, there are loads of new faces).

Cons

As mentioned, it is a very fast-paced startup, so the hours can be quite long. I wouldn't say that it is any more extreme than any other startup of the same size. Many nights, you'll find yourself working at night with your coworkers, so it's a very roll up your sleeves type of environment. I'd say that it just depends on what you're looking for in terms of work/life balance.
