Great Potential Squandered

Pros

Optiv attracts great people, this is a great place to get lots of experience in security, and you get to network with technology partners, which you’ll need when it’s time to find a new job.

Cons

Management values the Strategic Account Reps but the Enterprise and Commercial reps are just cogs in the machine. Management is under intense pressure to deliver an exit for KKR and while there is talk of an IPO, it’s behind schedule, so it’s not a great environment. You don’t hear about the layoffs but they’re happening. Again and again. And there’s no severance, so you just get cut from the team and out you go. Loyalty only goes one way. If you go to work here be in it for yourself because despite what they may say, the management team doesn’t care about anyone but themselves.

Pros

A playground for a cybersecurity professional but that is it

Cons

Touts premium services but below average at best. Overpriced. Portfolio looks good on paper but it is just lipstick on a pig because Optiv consistently fails to deliver. No career growth, unless you are part of an internal clique. Layers and layers of management whose job is to roll up the previous manager's report. The good people who do contribute are overworked and unsupported. Any feedback just falls on deaf ears.
