Fast-growing company, great opportunities

Pros

Optiv is a fast-growing company that provides exceptional opportunities for its employees in any area of the business. I really respect the management team because when Accuvant and FishNet Security came together last year, they really tried to find a place for literally every single person in the combined company. I have seen organizations merge and just cut duplicate positions without batting an eyelash, but that was not the case here.

Cons

The merger of Accuvant and FishNet and transformation into Optiv happened very quickly, which has certainly created some challenges, as can only be expected. And continuing to grow at a rapid rate results in growing pains as well. But, I've been on the other side working for a company that laid me off the week before Christmas because their CEO ran the company into the ground. I would much rather deal with the challenges associated with a financial stable, fast-growing company!

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.
