Pros

Some of the people are really awesome. Some really strive for cross departmental collaboration Work from home CEO is very nice and approachable Creating confidence in the infosec space is a rewarding end goal Great leadership training class

Cons

Executive leadership is motivating out of fear and uncertainty. Militaristic style. The primary reason for this style comes from a lack of trust to the employees. Executive leadership is out of touch with their people When executive leadership functions from a position of fear to their subordinates it trickles down to all below. People are at fear for their jobs for who they may challenge or what they may say. This was not the case initially. I was there for over 3 years and this happened in the last year or so. New leadership criticising the work to get Optiv to where it is without first seeking to understand the history and context.
