      Still a good place to work for

      Pros

      My boss gives me free rein on how best to accomplish my tasks, good work/home balance, and work from home for most staff. Employees are good to work with.

      Cons

      Training opportunities (other than in-house) are almost non-existent. Need more staff in essential areas; hiring from India is a lengthy process and full of unqualified candidates.

      Do not recommend

      Client manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company is fully remote which was a plus

      Cons

      Too many happy hours and events all the time. You are selling your soul to the company because you are expected to participate and plan events etc... So you are doing sales and marketing for them at the same time. You are 1 to 400 partners constantly reaching out....

      More focused on saying they're great than being great.

      Pros

      Potential & Work/Life Balance Optiv's has the potential to be an incredible business, based on the wide range of servcies it delivers to a high dollar industry. However, they are disconnected from that industry. There is an identity crisis at play. The management team that came in from Deloitte has cannabalized the people and services that made Optiv what it was. They want to be thought leaders but are behind the eight ball on what the industry is actually focused on. They think people will buy because they're lead consultants came out of 3-letter agencies or big consulting shops, and because of this have stopped listening to the voice of the customer. Working from home and having flexible hours is great, but frnakly, you can get thta most anywhere these days.

      Cons

      Dishonest and Misleading leadership. They did a quiet RIF in order to avoid reporting layoffs and paying severance to people who deserved better. The people at the helm are lost in the sauce with getting an IPO on their resume and don't realize they are losign customers because of it. Benefits are garbage and seemingly changes every year. People have been in tears of frustration because they have to change doctors or can't get support (and one of them had cancer). This company is very disorganized and has many convaluted processes. Its frustrating to get the simplest of things done for a customer that would be table stakes elsewhere. They don't really promote form within. Only saw it happen twice.
