Pros

Below is a list of things I think are good about the company. In addition to the points below, working for the company has been good so far. There is a LOT going in so things can be stressful, but I believe this is a good thing and everyone seems to be able to see the benefits coming up ahead. - Good people - Good vision - Fast paced - Focused on growth - Employer matched 401k

Cons

- Benefits were just changed and they are pretty bad, likely to cover for the added 401k matching program - Lots of things going on means less time to work on each item... which can result in poor performance if we aren't careful

Pros

I've been here only a short time but I can honestly say this is a great place to work. Granted, things have been hectic with the merger but everyone seems to be able to work together to get things accomplished. Management has been great. Everyone is very helpful and very friendly. I actually enjoy coming to work.

Cons

I can't thing of one bad thing or even a not so nice thing to say about this company.

Pros

I can't remember the last time I was this happy in a position at this point in my career. I recognized the huge opportunity to join Optiv, as the merger between Accuvant and Fishnet reminded me of the early days at PayPal. Management and employees all seem excited and motivated by the potential this new company can offer.

Cons

Not many cons. My experiences have been mostly favorable, and any negative items have been part of the learning process.
