Pros

Nice people. Great office overlooking Manchester with loads of light. There's definitely opportunity to progress in your career and they promote from within.

Cons

Not really an AI company, it's a data science consultancy that uses AI as a marketing gimmick. Overtime is expected and encouraged, people get applauded when they work silly hours and you'll be asked directly why you didn't work late when someone else did. - this is probably the biggest negative, there is real culture of overtime here. Pretty common at startups, but still not good. This last one will sound harsh, but there's not much expertise in senior positions. Lots of people are just guessing their way through things and the goal seems to just be to keep getting more funding and then.... somehow become a massive AI company?

Sorry to hear your experience of Peak doesn’t match what we have set out to try and achieve. Everyone at Peak owns part of the business through our employee share scheme, the business performance and strategy are openly shared and discussed in detail frequently and everyone is working as a team to achieve our shared goals. That connection to the company mission and our focus on wellbeing are two of the strongest factors in our team voting Peak into the Top 100 Companies to work for in the UK for the past two years. Whilst we want everyone to have an amazing experience at Peak, joining a startup / scale-up business means we are fast-paced in our approach and it isn’t for everyone. We are disappointed to hear it hasn’t worked out for you this time but genuinely wish you all the best in your career and thank you for your work during your time at Peak.
