Pros

Optiv Security Review: I have had the opportunity to observe Optiv Security's operations and culture, and I feel compelled to share my concerns regarding recent events that have significantly impacted the company and its employees.

Cons

While Optiv has been recognized for its innovative approach to cybersecurity, recent layoffs of senior leadership and management within the thriving Service arms have raised serious questions about the company's priorities and values. Many of those let go were disabled veterans who played a crucial role in the success of the practice, contributing not only as individuals but also as leaders and team members. Their dedication and expertise were invaluable, and it's disheartening to see such talent and experience dismissed. Moreover, the aftermath of these layoffs has been troubling. Employees faced threats regarding NDAs and non-compete agreements, which for many meant the end of their careers in consulting. This heavy-handed approach not only undermines the trust and loyalty of former employees but also tarnishes the company's reputation in the industry.

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
