Pros

Unknown - I seriously can't think of anything good to say about them at this point.

Cons

The failed merger of Accuvant and FishNet was more of a hostile takeover resulting in the termination of all quality FishNet leadership as the culmination of an unhealthy grudge match. This left behind only brown-nosing yes-men that pandered to Accuvant leadership and squeezed the life out of the consulting practices. The merger is a continuation of a grudge-match between the two companies that formed Optiv and the incessant bad choices and loss of quality talent will likely result in poor service quality to customers and the eventual demise of Optiv. All departments are in complete disarray and the current leadership is totally clueless. At this point, the company is completely upside down. Don't waste your time on Optiv anytime soon. If it ever recovers, it will be years from now, if ever. From the looks of things, it would be a complete surprise if massive lay-offs are not in the works. Recently, they gutted benefits and they keep messing with the compensation plans. They are driving consultants away in an attempt to make short-term numbers and GP look good. What is worse, the executive services leadership lacks experience and vision. They have no idea how to run a services organization or retain quality talent.
