At any other company you can go your entire career and never see the level of complex projects that i have seen, the opportunities at Optiv are tremendous, and to truly be the expert, not just to be perceived as an expert but to have a command of the technologies that most will never have, and to have the vendors and clients come to us for solutions to difficult problems, while no one starts out as an expert, it is through the continuous training, standardized methodology (some technologies are more complete than others), building new methodologies, and consistent execution that we bring that builds the consultants capability.
Cons
Some people can't keep up with the fast pace, it is very easy to burn consultants out, while work life balance is emphasized, the current consultant incentive plan only rewards behaviors that benefit the here and now.

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
