Pros

Flexible schedule Work from home Pay decent

Cons

Leadership structure has recently changed and not for the better. Good leadership should accept blame and defer praise, but it is quite the opposite at Optiv. I recommend anyone that is looking to work here to watch your back. Benefits are horrible, only high deductible plans are available. I was paying around 4k/yr on health insurance and my deductible was 9k, and it gets worse every year. There are regular fireside chats/all hands calls and they feel so fake, and try way to hard to get people excited.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret your experience was not favorable. The communication mechanisms for employees in all hands meetings are delivered to share updates and relevant information on where we are as a company. A recent all hands call shared the action we are taking with our benefit programs in 2019 that will result in plans that cost considerably less for employees.

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
