Pros

Optiv is an amazing opportunity to be part of a company that is the largest in its space. We are the largest vendor partner for most of the Gartner MQ Leading vendors as well as countless new vendors. The ability to work with large enterprise clients and have a great company story and vision open a lot of opportunities. A lot of work has been done to hire really high quality employees in the field.Investments in sales training is a positive direction.

Cons

The recent merger to create Optiv from Accuvant & Fishnet Security was a massive undertaking to do so much in such a short period of time. There are still a lot of things that are being worked through. There has been turn-over as legacy people in key positions have moved on and the change in people adds to the stress. Management works hard to stay focused on moving forward and staying positive. The benefits are expensive and while they are a good package of benefits the company could do more to make them affordable, the cost of making benefits cheaper in the bigger picture of a $1.5B+ could REALLY increase employee morale.

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
