Pros

One of the best things about Optiv is its culture and values. Optiv is focused on meeting the needs of the customer. The customer is at the heart of everything we do. Although Optiv is now the largest pure play security company in North America, it has still managed to retain an entrepreneurial spirit. Employees have tremendous latitude to grow the business, share ideas, and present innovative ideas to the executive leadership team. Be prepared, however, because if you have a great idea you will likely get the opportunity to take it and turn it into something great! The executive team has also invested heavily in the development of Optiv employees and looks to promote and grow talent. For those security geeks out there, Optiv is also a great place to work because you get exposure to fun and exciting technologies, are able to get hands on practice in different labs, and attend national security conferences and training. If you have drive and love security, Optiv is where you want to be!

Cons

With rapid growth comes some challenges. It is difficult at times to learn the organization, especially as leadership and management positions turn over or are added.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
