Pros

The people you work with day-to-day is the biggest Pro to Optiv. During my time there, my peers were amazing. It was great to see the level of commitment to the customer despite the burden of working for such a disfunctional organization.

Cons

The leadership is disconnected and ineffective. My peers had numerous issues with expense reimbursement and a petty policy that made being a road warrior more that miserable. Expect to work long hours with little reward and a lack of execution and vision from the top. Hopefully the new CEO will save this failing organization.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
