Pros

Optiv provides a large number of career opportunities and growth between divisions. As a top tier security provider the internal training opportunities and sophisticated client base allow for tremendous individual growth. Every day I am surrounded by incredibly intelligent security leaders and top tier technical talent. Benefits and salary are highly competitive with other employers. The culture and environment is business in the front, party in the back. Optiv has also experienced relatively little attrition after the merger of two large players in the space which speaks for itself.If Optiv maintains their nimbleness and forward momentum they will continue to be a major player in the security space.

Cons

No major cons of note. Optiv is a new brand composed of fishnet and accuvant along with other acquisitions. In time more brand recognition will happen.

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
