Pros

The entire organization is rallying right now to deliver on transformational change. There is a motivating sense of urgency to accomplish clear goals. There is a work hard/play hard atmosphere. Managers encourage independent thought, while also maintaining team spirit. Although the organization is large in terms of impact and revenue, it feels close-knit and lean. It's easy to navigate company resources compared to other firms. I find management is accessible and integrates a wide variety of ideas. There is a very deep bench of talent to work with. This is a winning team of professionals with high standards of performance.

Cons

Benefits are getting better right now, which will make the pay package even more competitive. I'm pretty sure Optiv will be adding 401(k) matching. I believe they will also be funding a portion of HSA accounts. That is something to ask about to confirm.

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
