Optiv reviews

There's quite a bit of shady going on in their quest for world domination. In September they did a RIF and forced an entire department to sign a non-disparagement agreement (which was just made illegal). Essentially, we weren't even allowed to talk to our coworkers about being let go in a hush hush, overnight way for no reason other than they were outsourcing our jobs to India for cheaper wages. We were threatened with losing our severance if we talked to anyone about anything. The whole thing left me feeling super creeped out and like I did something wrong when I had been working like a Hebrew slave for months to meet their quotas and win new work from existing customers who already had bad experiences with Optiv. In the end, we were highly trained resources that cost more than India and it was an easy decision for management to decide they want cheap and dirty over quality at a fair price.

The CMO has no understanding of Marketing Strategy, and no long term vision. Either he doesn't care enough or respect his team enough to rely on their expertise. And instead, makes snap decisions that do not contribute to long term goals. As a result, the Marketing department has become one giant popularity contest because the only way to win budget is to be the favorite flavor of the week. Work here if you'd like to be treated like an order taker for whatever random marketing activity seems "fun" this week.
