Toxic leadership and culture

Pros

There are some solid performers. Good facilities throughout the company.

Cons

Inept and immature leadership throughout the company. Promotions happen at the highest levels only with the exception being "yes men" they put into place. Toxic and backstabbing leaders who can't stay focused for 1 week or agree on what their flavor of the month is. Consistent misses on bonuses. Insanely high medical premiums with lackluster coverage. Constant layoffs due to leadership not being able to forecast or manage appropriately. Turnover is at ridiculous levels with no accountability. Don't bother reaching out to someone in Human Resources more than once because they won't be there. The department can't keep a person longer than a few months. KKR is on prem which I thought would help but to no avail. Culture of Optiv is based on lies, poor leadership and deceit. Parking allowance is being stripped away but hey, you may get to share a seat with key leadership on the rail. Yeah right - don't expect leadership to practice what they preach. Work from home was advertised to attract a lot of us and now fully taken away.

Still a great place to work

Pros

Growing pains still means growth. Good people. Hard, challenging, and rewarding work. Flexible schedules. Working remote.

Cons

Culture still undefined. Rumor mills go unaddressed. Senior management has been absent and sometimes dismissive. Working remote is (maybe?) going away. Again, management won't address and the drama junkies are running it.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, competitive pay

Cons

Organization changed the bonus plan after the 1st Qtr and made it retro to the beginning of the year. Basically taking away bonuses from people who worked hard and long hours to help the company stay its course. They are punishing the workers for lack of sales. Yes, I understand the reasoning, but to make it retro, just to please folks that come up with unrealistic projections.
