Bad couture , managers are overpowered and manipulative , no values , managers are so nagging that it leaves your frustrated all the time. No good management for support work in technology ..

Do your home work closely before signing on the line. I mean REALLY do your homework.

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.

Pros

1. good benefits 2. nice office

Cons

1. constant conflicts among groups. people are fired due to politics instead of performance 2. projects are planned for political purposes instead of for the good of the company 3. middle management is made of friends and families of senior executives. They are arrogant but have very poor technical and managerial skills.They don't know how to lead their employees and don't tend to follow their bosses. 4. management at all levels do not understand cooperation. 5. talents are not valued.
