      Pros

      I had a great experience working here for many years they always found a place for me no matter what acquisition or merger we went through. It's all what you make of it as long as you put your heart into it you will do exceptionally well here. Dan Burns the CEO is amazing and a man of his people there are many fabulous VPs and directors that you can learn a ton from. You get your hands on every technology you can imagine and special treatment from the vendors on any type of training/lab gear you need.

      Cons

      It's a big company so put on your big boy pants.

      Pros

      Great people. There has been some turnover at the ELT level, but it's been for the better. Optiv is becoming more mission-focused, and is working to clarify how we turn that mission into action. Benefits have improved in the 3 years I have been here, I think the "people focus" has become much stronger in the past 2 years. Senior leadership in my area of the business is phenomenal. I mean that. Id have a really hard time ever leaving that group of people. The company is also in a terrific spot within the industry, the country, and the world. With the backing of KKR, at this time, I believe the company is able to make the necessary investments to grow the business to where it can stand effectively without a PE firm in the future.

      Cons

      Health benefits are still high. They've made improvements in 2019 but certainly not where we need to be, yet. That's still part of the people-first focus and I expect it will only improve with time. We're still working on effective communication streams between company silos. It's getting better, but can still present a challenge. I wouldn't say it's particularly worse than any other company of this size/age, perhaps I just feel it more in my position. I have faith we'll get there.
