Pros

Optiv is a fast-growing company that provides exceptional opportunities for its employees in any area of the business. I really respect the management team because when Accuvant and FishNet Security came together last year, they really tried to find a place for literally every single person in the combined company. I have seen organizations merge and just cut duplicate positions without batting an eyelash, but that was not the case here.

Cons

The merger of Accuvant and FishNet and transformation into Optiv happened very quickly, which has certainly created some challenges, as can only be expected. And continuing to grow at a rapid rate results in growing pains as well. But, I've been on the other side working for a company that laid me off the week before Christmas because their CEO ran the company into the ground. I would much rather deal with the challenges associated with a financial stable, fast-growing company!

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
