Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We too are excited about Optiv's future based on the success in 2018 as the best year in our three year history. With our lowered benefit costs in 2019, employees will be saving money while still having the same comprehensive benefit plans and providers.

Terrible company after the KKR buyout

Pros

Some of the peers you work with and some of clients.

Cons

You are just a number to them, your utilization. They think they can treat their employees like dirt. They underpay by 20% or so unless you are an executive. They all got big payouts from the KKR deal where people that had been with one of the legacy companies for years before all the mergers and buyouts, got nothing. People have been jumping ship for the past 1 year because of the screw ups by executive leadership with the compensation plans to consultants and sales. The IT department is incompetent as well.

Doesn't take care of people

Pros

Hot market, good opportunity to learn about the cyber security marketplace.

Cons

Supervisors manage up and treat employees poorly. Unlimited PTO, but your bonus plan is based on billable hours, so it's a catch-22. Pay is sub par for high demand cyber security skills. Leadership communicates poorly and not often enough. Lots of focus on making numbers and not enough on actually solving clients needs.
