Pros

No pros for this company

Cons

There is a lot of deceitful and backstabbing management. No room for growth or direction within the company. Constantly working long hours, so you can forget about having a life outside of work. Very high turnover, micromanaging, and a very poisonous environment, I advise anyone to stay FAR away from this company. There are better opportunities out there, keep looking!

Thank you for the review. We are sorry to hear that your working experience at Optiv was negative. We value our people above and beyond everything else. Work-life balance and a healthy culture are incredibly important in this fast-paced world we live in today. All work and no play leads to burnout and slow growth. We’re not interested in either. That is why we offer our “Recharge” program to our employees, an opportunity to take untracked time off when they need it to refresh and recharge. Recent investments in the company position us well to continue expanding our global footprint, increasing growth and career development opportunities. To support our business goals, we offer management training classes to our current mangers and our aspiring people leaders. Gaining the tools and resources to lead our employees with perspective is just one example of how we invest in growing our workforce. With growth come challenges, and we’re committed to finding solutions. We realize you have moved on, but we would like to extend an opportunity to discuss your feedback with us. Your voice matters, and we care about what you have to say. Thank you, and we wish you best of luck in the future.

Pros

Structure, management, good people, nice building, good benefits, good location down town..

Cons

My new manager didn't challenge me or offer any opportunities and I had worked there over five years. I didn't get the feeling that management had any backup when working with staff... that they were on their own.
