Pros

- Fully remote before Covid. Haven't had to use my camera once - All hardware such as laptop, monitors, docking station, etc. provided - Unlimited PTO - Great people - Continual improvement in tools and processes - Annual raises! coming from federal contracting world where your salary stays the same I was delightfully surprised by this. - Quarterly bonuses - Pays for / Reimburse for certifications, annual certification fees, any additional hardware I need (ie. headset). - x1.5 pay for volunteering to work holidays

Cons

- 401k is average I think? I don't know I'm not an expert on these - Sometimes onboarding a new client can be smoother. The alert volume is high for that client until the content gets tuned based on their feedback (ie. authorized scanners, normal expected activity)

Pros

Worked with me to move towards career goals and technologies I was interested in. Work life balance was not bad.

Cons

You sometimes get presented to clients as an expert in something you literally just learned and have no practical experience with, which feels dishonest. It's also possible to get entrenched in a project you may not like for years, just because the client doesn't want you to leave and optiv wants to have good relations with the client. Also the bonus is tied to billable hours per quarter which you may not have any control over.
