Making a positive career trajectory at Optiv

Pros

In the past 7 years as a part of the Optiv team, Optiv has shown me its appreciation of entrepreneurialism and innovation. In response to my identification of opportunities to improve our quality and speed of doing business, Optiv afforded me increased responsibility and authority to lead their implementations as well as the resulting overall visibility within our organization and the industry. At Optiv, you can definitely get what you give, including multiple positive career moves and overall growth. Given the many talented people and bright minds here, you can also feel personally enriched and have a lot of fun.

Cons

The volume of work is high, so you have to be on top of your game at all times. Also, workflows and department structures change frequently as the company grows, so people must quickly adapt.

Pros

Steady paycheck Hands off management Autonomy to do your own thing.

Cons

Hands off management. Bonuses based off booked hours they could never setup with clients, so hardly ever got bonuses. Seems like the best people left. If you’re looking for a collaborative learning environment, maybe pass on Optiv.

Pros

Remote work. Autonomy. Direct manager was good.

Cons

No commitment to processes. Priorities are changed hourly. Once a direction is decided, it will change often. The feeling you are always in the dark. Bait and switch is alive and well.
