The Best Career Choice I've Ever Made

Pros

You're given awesome responsibilities from day 1, because the team and your manager(s) trust(s) you to do the job. I am so grateful for all of the things I've learnt and how valued I was. I miss Peeksters everyday–they are among the smartest people I've ever worked with. Peek's culture is unique, and very hard to find!

Cons

The long working hours can be stressful, but it's pretty classic for start ups anyway. Definitely not a 9 to 5 kind of job but if that's what you're looking for, you shouldn't even consider joining a start up at all.

Pros

This is a company where you come to grow dramatically as a professional. You will be challenged, you will be pushed, you will work hard... and it will single-handedly be one of the most defining periods in your career. I have worked at many companies, both large and small, and every skill, habit, and lesson I have learned at Peek has given me more confidence for my career than I ever thought possible. I am proud to say I am "Peek-trained". I have been here for nearly two years and have seen a number of people come and go. One theme remains constant: No matter their background (e.g. Former VPs, managers, new college grads, etc.) every person acclaims how much they grew professionally during their tenure. You will learn how to be strategic, you will adopt productive habits, and you will be exposed to how a successful business is run. Now, what about the people? I've never considered myself someone who drinks the Kool-Aid, but god, it's hard not to here. The culture is outstanding. Not only do I genuinely enjoy every person across each team (Engineers and salespeople alike!), but I also have the upmost respect for their attitudes, dedication, and work ethic. Growth? Check. Culture? Check. That means the pay must suck, right? False. I'm writing this review as I prep to travel the world for two years. I have saved all of this money while working at Peek and living in the most expensive city in the U.S. I'm not saying you don't have to work for it, but if you want, you can make more than enough. I'm somewhat mad at Peek in a way: I think it spoiled my ability to be content at a sub-par company forever.

Cons

As a salesperson, the ramping period is definitely difficult. It takes and while to acquire the industry knowledge to be successful. And even after you are successful, it's difficult to ever feel like you've ever "mastered" your role. You will constantly be presented new challenges that will keep you on your toes. If you want a job where you sit back and relax day-in and day-out, then this may not be the right place for you.

Best Thing That's Happened to Me Since Graduation

Pros

Peek is, singlehandedly, the best thing that's happened to me since I graduated from college back in 2009. I've been with the company for 2.5 years and have grown my career so much, learned more than I thought was imaginable, and met some of the most supportive, intelligent, and fun people ever. Peek is the type of company that rewards and appreciates talent immediately. I was hired as an SDR and over 2.5 years have been promoted 3 times. I've never had to approach management regarding these promotions or raises, they've always been a step ahead in realizing my potential and making me feel like a valued part of the team. I've learned so much about inside sales and I've been able to travel around the country selling in-person as well (it's been the best of both worlds). Upper management has encouraged me to always share my opinions and give input, much of which has helped shape how strategic decisions have been made over the years. The trust management has placed on me and the opportunities they've given me have been incredible. On top of the career growth I've experienced, from a financial perspective the sky is the limit. I've been able to exceed all of my financial goals (including paying off my student loans completely, starting a Roth IRA, and saving a TON of $$ in the process). The vacation policy is also WONDERFUL. We get a ton of time off, management is flexible, and I've never felt like I had to say no to a family vacation or long weekend plans. We also get Christmas time off for 2 weeks! Now onto the best part... the people. Even after almost 3 years, going into work still puts a smile on my face. Everyone has a shared mission, everyone is super hard working, and all of the teams collaborate on a daily basis. I definitely understand how my day-to-day input affects the company at large and working together with other teams has given me a really good understanding of every department. We've shared incredible memories together as well: from ski trips, to Tahoe summer trips, to happy hours, scavenger hunts, etc. Peek never fails to deliver on the fun! I couldn't recommend the company more highly. It's made such an incredible impact on both my career and personal life - I am forever grateful.

Cons

The hours are long (but it's what you want to put into it). Sure, you could get paid more at another company but I would also argue that it's completely worth the pay cut given the growth and learning opportunities. Honestly, there's not much I can say that's negative.
