      Huge potential but employees are not high priority

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO is great. Cybersecurity is an exciting industry with seemingly endless potential.

      Cons

      Communication is lazy and untimely. Decisions about compensation and policy are left to rumor or management discretion and only formally communicated after the fact. Employees once enjoyed a flexible schedule and option to work from home but with the new headquarters not only is that flexibility going away the parking stipend has been discontinued. New employees can factor that into salary negotiation but current employees are taking a pay-cut. After coming in below the financial goal in 2017, layoffs have also been rampant and there is no opportunity for advancement in the near future.

      So Far Very Good!

      Pros

      -Great team and people that support one another. (Large organization. This will vary across teams). -Flexible working hours and work from home. (A new office space is being built in Denver, so this flexibility could change. However, the office space will be some of the nicest and newest in Denver in over 30 years). -Unlimited PTO policy which is on par with the innovative tech companies. -Solid financial backing from VC KKR. This company is being infused with capital for growth and probably and IPO. -The Cybersecurity industry is a very interesting place to be.

      Cons

      -Work load for services resources can be very high. Work with your managers on this. -Variable/Bonus pay program is always changing and never can be counted on. This skews salary numbers. Make sure you get what you need in your base pay. -Internal business processes are not rolled out well causing issues in many situations. -Career paths are not well defined.

      Toxic leadership and culture

      Pros

      There are some solid performers. Good facilities throughout the company.

      Cons

      Inept and immature leadership throughout the company. Promotions happen at the highest levels only with the exception being "yes men" they put into place. Toxic and backstabbing leaders who can't stay focused for 1 week or agree on what their flavor of the month is. Consistent misses on bonuses. Insanely high medical premiums with lackluster coverage. Constant layoffs due to leadership not being able to forecast or manage appropriately. Turnover is at ridiculous levels with no accountability. Don't bother reaching out to someone in Human Resources more than once because they won't be there. The department can't keep a person longer than a few months. KKR is on prem which I thought would help but to no avail. Culture of Optiv is based on lies, poor leadership and deceit. Parking allowance is being stripped away but hey, you may get to share a seat with key leadership on the rail. Yeah right - don't expect leadership to practice what they preach. Work from home was advertised to attract a lot of us and now fully taken away.
