Pros

A great concept. Plenty of spending money, which is spent on 'buying' their way into the market... Buying market share.

Cons

Terribly corrupt, old school processes in a Cyber world, many many many new competitors popping up everywhere (including Fortune 500 companies), terrible benefits, management has total disregard and disrespect for lower level staff and newbies, very little training for newbies. I could go on, but I have no more time to waste on these strange people. My advice is to work here until you find something better, believe me they hire just about anyone with a positive visual appearance. I'm now working for a 'real' company!

Thanks for taking the time to write this review and express your concerns. At Optiv, we believe it is important to listen to all feedback, whether it is positive or negative, and take it into consideration. However, this review does not provide constructive criticism, but rather a distorted and very negative perspective on what it is like to work at our company. We believe this outlook is in no way, shape, or form, a true representation of our culture, values, mission, achievements and the enormous talent we have on the team. We are optimistic and excited about the future of our company and truly committed to our employees. Our goal is to maintain a valued working environment for each and every one of them. Unfortunately, we cannot tolerate your “advice” to "work until you find something better to do," as you suggested above. Rather, we encourage positivity, commitment and determination to employee and company success and forging a true bond and partnership with our talented and hardworking employees, as we work to become an exemplary employer of choice. Wishing you good luck and finding success elsewhere. In the meantime, we will get back to working hard, hand-in-hand with our team to serve our important purpose, creating confidence for a more connected world by helping protect the world against cybersecurity threats.

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
