Pros

I started working at Optiv, formerly with Accuvant, about two months ago. I have received about $25,000 worth of classroom training on everything from Ethical Hacking to Firewalls! Seriously, what other company does that?? I'm sure there are others out there but they come few and far between. The atmosphere here is very laid back and inviting. I work on the Sprint Campus, in Overland Park, so my views are pretty good! I recommend this company to all of my friends and family. I'm actually proud to tell people where I work and what I do.

Cons

I can't think of any cons besides the health insurance change. It's still pretty good but not as good as it was before.

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
