Pros

I started off as a temporary worker. Within a month of me working hard which wasn't unnoticed, my boss offered my a permanent position with Optiv. I work on a great team and there is a lot of support in this company. Everyone that I've ever encountered is helpful. I've never been in environment like this. There is a lot of training. I like the idea that I can work home a couple days of the week. I'm so happy to be in my position and this enviroment. There is a lot of growth as well.

Cons

There aren't a lot of Cons I've ever encountered. I mentioned above I can work home a couple days of the week. Not all the positions give you that flexibility.

Pros

I had the unique opportunity to work in a contractor position with Accuvant for 6 months before being hired on full time with the completion of the merger to what is now Optiv. I guess you could say I was able to "test the waters" before making the plunge. As with any merger, there were changes. However, what I was impressed about from the beginning was the way I felt I was being included in the changes that were being made. I was not even an actual "employee", yet my opinion was asked for various changes that were being made. I have been through other mergers and/or acquisitions with other companies and this one was by far one of the best. Seeing the processes that were being used and the communication that was going on amongst people made it a very easy decision for me to join the company when given the opportunity.

Cons

I work remotely, but I am a people person and like to put a face to a name. I would love to see more opportunities for those working remotely to get together with other people in their region. I believe this could help people have a better understanding of what other people in different areas of the company do.

Pros

I started working at Optiv, formerly with Accuvant, about two months ago. I have received about $25,000 worth of classroom training on everything from Ethical Hacking to Firewalls! Seriously, what other company does that?? I'm sure there are others out there but they come few and far between. The atmosphere here is very laid back and inviting. I work on the Sprint Campus, in Overland Park, so my views are pretty good! I recommend this company to all of my friends and family. I'm actually proud to tell people where I work and what I do.

Cons

I can't think of any cons besides the health insurance change. It's still pretty good but not as good as it was before.
