      The layoffs have begun

      Pros

      Lots of different jobs for people at various levels of experience and in my areas of specialization.

      Cons

      The KKR squeeze is on. The second round of layoffs occurred in mid June. Even people who are consulting are being cut. Morale is low and it is worsening. This is all because Optiv is missing its sales numbers - missing them big. This is because Optiv is being disrupted, even as it tries to hang on to its legacy VAR business. Optiv was once the dominant leader in the security solutions space, but it's quickly becoming a has-been. Key leaders have left the business, and they took Optiv's vision with them. Innovation has slowed to a crawl, while nimble and visionary competitors are leaving Optiv in the dust.

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO program, great people in the Denver office, good experience for newer professionals, exciting position in the industry, has so much potential to be an amazing company to work for.

      Cons

      Executive strategy execution changes constantly (hard to align any planning), cross-team collaboration/strategy is non-existent, no value on employee potential/contribution, company struggles with committing to a long term vision or making tough decisions.
