Layoffs are so 90's

Pros

Layoffs are lame. Unlimited PTO is cool Tons of opportunity to work on different projects not necessarily projects you were hired to work on. 100% Remote work is great for awhile

Cons

Management direction changes with the seasons No clear career path explanations No mentorships No internal/external feedback mechanisms. No chance to move to other teams I would consider working at Optiv as a "beginner-friendly" place to work as a consultant. The sales process to get a client onboard takes forever. Want to be invited to a conference? It's about who you know.

Pros

Unlimited PTO (depending on the team/manager, this may not mean much)

Cons

As a previous review had said, the company/senior management will be adamant that their employees are safe from layoffs but it is the complete opposite. It seems that entire teams are being let go. Management needs to re-evaluate their current business plans because it isn't working.
