Pros

I've been at Optiv for almost two years and I love it here. There are three things that get me excited about the work we do: 1) There is an amazing amount of talent here at Optiv. Brilliant people with opinions and experience dedicated to making organizations more secure. 2) We focus on security. It is what we do. Everyone here works hard to align business strategy and security considerations so we continually assess how we are staying client focused and security minded. It is a unique place. 3) We invest in leading research to drive security innovation, discover and remediate weaknesses and solve security challenges that most companies wouldn't even touch. Our team of scientists, researchers and engineers represent some of the best minds in this space.

Cons

You need to bring your A game every day. Not really a bad thing.

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
