By far the WORST employer of my time

Pros

The only pro that comes to mind is the lead I had when I started working there. She was unbelievably AWESOME. Unfortunately, this company terminated her 1 month after I started as a result of the merger.

Cons

Poor interview process, poor management, poor work environment (too much drama), promises made by management are not kept and the people are RUDE, especially after you leave the company.

Pros

I've been at Optiv for almost two years and I love it here. There are three things that get me excited about the work we do: 1) There is an amazing amount of talent here at Optiv. Brilliant people with opinions and experience dedicated to making organizations more secure. 2) We focus on security. It is what we do. Everyone here works hard to align business strategy and security considerations so we continually assess how we are staying client focused and security minded. It is a unique place. 3) We invest in leading research to drive security innovation, discover and remediate weaknesses and solve security challenges that most companies wouldn't even touch. Our team of scientists, researchers and engineers represent some of the best minds in this space.

Cons

You need to bring your A game every day. Not really a bad thing.

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?)
