Pros

We have vision, great leadership and terrific talent.

Cons

As the economy grows and improves, people are moving around from company to company. We have seen some amazing people leave us - which can be unsettling for some. We h ave pockets of our organization that are still trying to find their rhythm.

Leadership matters

Pros

There are still some good people in the ranks... many of them want out, but have found ways to "hide" and collect a big paycheck.

Cons

Incredibly weak senior management team that could be the subject of an MBA class on failures in leadership. After the merger, the former Accuvant leadership team quickly pushed out anyone who disagreed with their opinions or questioned them. It was a "yes man" culture that became completely self-absorbed. This made for a toxic, backstabbing, political environment but most importantly Optiv completely lost its customer focus. This is a classic case of "C" leaders hiring D's and F's... when those subpar leaders have prominently established themselves throughout the organization, it is incredibly hard to recover. The future for Optiv is not good.
