Pros

Here’s why you should come work for Optiv: Want to pay the highest insurance premiums, deductibles and office visit copays ever? Optiv can give you that (seriously, $300 is the network discount rate to see a GP). Want to struggle to get sales closed because the internal InfoSec and Legal department is so backward that their goal is to pick a part and devalue every transaction? Optiv can give you that. Want to see the execs' (unqualified) buddy’s get hired and promoted instead of the people who work hard and actually deserve it? Yep, Optiv can give you that too. Want to be hired under the guise that you will be making huge bonuses, only to find out that the company never hits its "magical number" and instead are in constant worry that the company is about to sink? Optiv definitely has that. And lastly, if you want to have to worry about whether or not your paycheck will show up on Friday, and for the correct amount, you’re in luck, Optiv’s payroll department will definitely help you accomplish that.

Cons

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. 2018 was a tremendous year and the best one yet at Optiv with over 100% of bonuses paid. We significantly increased the company payout in benefits this year and look forward to continuing to provide a robust total rewards plan.

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
