Pros

I can't remember the last time I was this happy in a position at this point in my career. I recognized the huge opportunity to join Optiv, as the merger between Accuvant and Fishnet reminded me of the early days at PayPal. Management and employees all seem excited and motivated by the potential this new company can offer.

Cons

Not many cons. My experiences have been mostly favorable, and any negative items have been part of the learning process.

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
