Peek reviews

I previously left Peek to move up to Seattle due to cost of living in the Bay Area in 2016. My experience at Peek has been fantastic, but I ended up joining Amazon AWS in Seattle. To keep a long story short, my experience at AWS was not what I hoped for and my career path was moving toward a trajectory I did not want. When I heard that Peek was opening remote offices in New York and Seattle, it was really exciting news. After wrapping up my remaining projects in AWS RDS in 2019, I decided it was time to come back to Peek. Coming back has been amazing, the company has grown a lot. The total number of employees more than tripled since I started with them in 2014. I've watched the company closely during my 3 years at AWS and it was great to see them secure Series B funding, acquiring a competitor, and partnering with Google. Working here you have lots of ownership over your projects, and the management team encourages researching new technologies and services to make the infrastructure more resilient. I am very happy with my decision to come back.

I was impressed with this company from the moment I walked through the doors. I've worked a variety of jobs, some good some bad. But Peek really surprised me with the culture they have cultivated here. Everyone was smiling, chatting with coworkers, working together on difficult projects, or just buckling down doing their jobs. Regardless of the task, everyone is legitimately happy. I believe this is due to how much the company cares about its employees. There are excellent bonus structures in place to incentivize hard working employees, weekly catered lunches where the whole company (including the CEO) come together to do an activity or watch a TedTalk about relevant social issues, snacks and coffee are always available, flexibility in working hours if you're sick or have an emergency, work from home options if you're sick but don't want to take a sick day, excellent benefits, etc. I can tell Peek really tried to cultivate an environment for its employees so they can be happy and, as a result, work hard towards the success of the company. I was also very impressed by how committed to maintaining this culture they are. If there is an employee who has a bad attitude or tries to skate by and not pull their weight, the management is open to feedback and will do whatever they need to in order to address the problem. The management is also really great, they're not offended by constructive criticism and are legitimately dedicated to making sure they're doing everything they can to improve. I've heard multiple employees express their satisfaction in the work place and with their managers. If there ever is a problem, I'm confident Peek would do their best to fix it.
