    An Insider's view of TrainingPeaks (A Peaksware Company)

    What’s the vibe like in the office?

    Many companies have their principles hanging on the wall, never to use them in practice. I'm proud to work for a company that lives their principles, consistently using them to make decisions for the customer, employee and business.

    Tony

    Product Manager

    What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

    Product management is a messy job. I’ve learned that there’s always going to be some doubt in the back of my mind, and I can use that doubt to fuel me to continue to learn, ask questions and work more closely with my team, rather than letting it cripple me.

    Liz

    Product Manager

    How does the company support your career growth?

    One of our top values is to provide employees with the opportunities & tools to help them grow. Regular check-ins on personal growth, opportunities to learn about other positions within the company & resources to help each employee move in the direction they are most interested in, are a few examples of the dedication to supporting longterm growth.

    Justin

    VP, Customer Team

    How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

    Peaksware's culture of collaboration and flex-first orientation allows me to seamlessly serve the needs of my team by being in office for team accountability and accessible through tech means. The balance of in-person connection and multimodal communication makes for strong team engagement

    Engineering Manager
