A Sinking Ship - Director Optiv Employee Review

Pros

At one time, there were lots of positive aspects to the company and my role in particular. There are still a few good people left to make a positive impact on the company's future. Pay for some roles has improved. If you can get on the right team, it can be a good place to be. An IPO down the road, maybe.

Cons

There are a lot more Cons these days. Company leadership claims to care about employees, but then lays off a good number of tenured and experienced leaders, including someone preparing to start chemotherapy. (That person got re-instated once outrage online was felt.) I expect more to voluntarily leave after the last wave of layoffs. The benefits aren't great. The non-compete agreement is egregious.

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
