      Pros

      I'm not great at saying the right words, but I am enjoying working with my new co-workers from Accuvant. I have been with legacy FishNet Security for a very long time and I am really encouraged with the growth in opportunities available as new positions are being created. I am faced with new challenges everyday as we find new places that we need to improve, change or just create because neither company had it before. I like the new PTO policies that allow for better work/life balance and realize that we are adults with lives outside of our careers. It is important that the idea of friends, family and community has remained a core of our company culture. It is wonderful that as I reach out and meet my new co-workers and management teams and start to learn about them that they reciprocate and care about what is going on in my life/work as much as I do about them. (it's a challenge to meet everyone when the company is so large)

      Cons

      It hasn't been an easy road and there have been lots of changes some really great and others probably could have been done better, but really when was the last time you worked on a project that everything went exactly according to plan? Not having enough hands on deck to do everything that needs to be done. (The end of the tunnel is where?)

      Pros

      I'm an executive at company so I can openly admit I'm drinking the kool-aid. However, I think everyone that works at Optiv is just beginning to see what a powerful company we put together brining Accuvant and Fishnet together. ITs definitely been a bit of a bumpy ride and not without stress over the last six months but our launch at Blackhat was the first time we really saw the power of brining Optiv to life. We had some of the best presence there. We are also a purpose led company. This isn't just about making money in the security space but truly helping to protect other companyies. Our purpose is to "Create confidence in a more connected world" and we really believe that. We have tons of job openings and this is an opportunity to get on the ground floor of a company that will transform the security industry. We're developing several startups inside the company even to build out capabilities around ELK stack, advanced threat hunting and more. The company itself wants to act like a nimble start up which means putting in some long hours right now. However, when you talk to people in the company I think you will find people who are passionate and absolutely excited about what we're bringing together. Our CEO is very humble and love to meet directly with staff. He has done a number of breakfast and lunches with employees whenever he travels and we have regular all hands to keep up with what is happening in the company.

      Cons

      Its been a lot of change very fast, possibly too fast. We tried to change everything at once because we wanted to get the old mindsets behind us and move to a combined company. Many of the people who are with the company were with their former companies for many years and we were traditional competitors of each other. Becoming one is company and putting that history behind us is not easy especially when we are not all in one physical place.

      Pros

      In 20 years of selling I have never had some many tools in my toolkit. Selling is getting easier and easier. Driven by the investments the Dan and the ELT is making in helping us get more strategic with our clients at the executive level along with new offerings at a program level. Optiv has a lot to offer anyone wanting to be part of the company that will lead the security industry.

      Cons

      Optiv is becoming a large company fast, and those growing pains can hurt if not well thought through.
