Pros

There are many good opportunities at Optiv. I was very optimistic about the merger of Fishnet and Accuvant, I thought I would be in on the ground floor of something very exciting.

Cons

Management has a very "this quarter" focus, which yields short sited results such as retro-actively cutting the bonus program and configuring it so that business down-sides are shared while cutting the up-side potential. This change drove away a large number of high-achieving team-members.

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
