Pros

There are some very talented people at Optiv who truly desire to deliver quality and value to clients.

Cons

Before the new CRO and a new Regional Director, I enjoyed my time at Optiv. I was instrumental in amazing growth for my region. As they looked towards IPO, the culture has drifted to a less positive one. As RIF's have occurred, SOW and services delivery has slowed. The focus is less about the clients and more about pushing technology and email campaigns, regardless of client needs. They used to incentivize services, which provides great value to clients, and now they only incentivize tech sales. Too many tools that don't integrate well creating redundancy in our workflows, and the hiring of a Regional Director that doesn't understand our business creating low value busy work, the culture and support I once enjoyed has fallen apart.

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
