Pros

A playground for a cybersecurity professional but that is it

Cons

Touts premium services but below average at best. Overpriced. Portfolio looks good on paper but it is just lipstick on a pig because Optiv consistently fails to deliver. No career growth, unless you are part of an internal clique. Layers and layers of management whose job is to roll up the previous manager's report. The good people who do contribute are overworked and unsupported. Any feedback just falls on deaf ears.

Pros

Work life balance is great if you just chill. Lots of down time Unlimited PTO 401k match

Cons

Everything. Leadership is awful as they are slave drivers and lay off people and say it’s “performance” related
