Pros

Optiv is leading the industry as a full service Cybersecurity solutions provider. They consistently set the benchmark for their competitors to meet or exceed. The MSP services truly have the client's security needs at heart and work diligently to meet and exceed their needs.

Cons

The MSS services consistently improve their services on the fly and react as the industry changes.

Pros

Strong exposure to enterprise security tooling and real-world incidents. The work itself can be technically interesting, and teammates are generally knowledgeable and collaborative.

Cons

Analysts are assigned to multiple clients simultaneously (AFC), each with separate SLAs, creating constant context switching and workload strain. Compensation and staffing levels do not always reflect the scope of responsibility, and clients are not always aware their monitoring is shared across SOC teams.
