Pros

The lower/mid tier people (who are left) are decent to work with, generally helpful, and knowledgeable.

Cons

The upper management seems to be doing their best to make Optiv fail. It's not that layoffs happened, it's how it happened that makes it clear they didn't bother to think, conduct basic due diligence, or really give a damn about their workers or their overall profitability. Just needed to cut $$$ so they did. If you need a job, its fine, just keep your resume updated and don't expect a whole lot of loyalty.

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
