Pros

A great concept. Plenty of spending money, which is spent on 'buying' their way into the market... Buying market share.

Cons

Terribly corrupt, old school processes in a Cyber world, many many many new competitors popping up everywhere (including Fortune 500 companies), terrible benefits, management has total disregard and disrespect for lower level staff and newbies, very little training for newbies. I could go on, but I have no more time to waste on these strange people. My advice is to work here until you find something better, believe me they hire just about anyone with a positive visual appearance. I'm now working for a 'real' company!

Thanks for taking the time to write this review and express your concerns. At Optiv, we believe it is important to listen to all feedback, whether it is positive or negative, and take it into consideration. However, this review does not provide constructive criticism, but rather a distorted and very negative perspective on what it is like to work at our company. We believe this outlook is in no way, shape, or form, a true representation of our culture, values, mission, achievements and the enormous talent we have on the team. We are optimistic and excited about the future of our company and truly committed to our employees. Our goal is to maintain a valued working environment for each and every one of them. Unfortunately, we cannot tolerate your “advice” to "work until you find something better to do," as you suggested above. Rather, we encourage positivity, commitment and determination to employee and company success and forging a true bond and partnership with our talented and hardworking employees, as we work to become an exemplary employer of choice. Wishing you good luck and finding success elsewhere. In the meantime, we will get back to working hard, hand-in-hand with our team to serve our important purpose, creating confidence for a more connected world by helping protect the world against cybersecurity threats.

Pros

Flexible work from home policy depending on position.

Cons

It seems like since the merger there hasn't been a lot of warm-fuzzy feelings about the future. Experienced and seasoned people continue to exit. Would be a decent place to work if they would staff to handle the workload.

Pros

Some great people to work with.

Cons

The leadership team seems more focused on integration (blocking and tackling ) than on establishing the right culture with the right players in the right seats. A lot of in fighting and creation of silos and power grabs rather than a focus on the customers and those in the field.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and recommendations on how you feel we can make our company the best it can be. As with any company going through a significant transition such as a major merger and rebranding effort like the one Optiv just completed, there’s bound to be challenges along the way. However, building a world-class culture is a top priority for our company. As part of this, our leadership team is working hard to make sure the right people are in the right roles that will not only allow our company to succeed long-term but that give our employees opportunity to do what they enjoy and grow their careers at Optiv.
