Pros

In the past 7 years as a part of the Optiv team, Optiv has shown me its appreciation of entrepreneurialism and innovation. In response to my identification of opportunities to improve our quality and speed of doing business, Optiv afforded me increased responsibility and authority to lead their implementations as well as the resulting overall visibility within our organization and the industry. At Optiv, you can definitely get what you give, including multiple positive career moves and overall growth. Given the many talented people and bright minds here, you can also feel personally enriched and have a lot of fun.

Cons

The volume of work is high, so you have to be on top of your game at all times. Also, workflows and department structures change frequently as the company grows, so people must quickly adapt.

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
