Pros
My team at Optiv was first rate. I'd work with the people on my team again in a minute.
Cons
Where to begin. When KKR purchased Optiv from Blackstone the true intent of KKR was revealed. As consultants we were paid a base salary with an increasing bonus scale based upon productivity. My Q1 2017 was stellar. I was expecting the bonus, as promised for my hard work and dedication. Two days prior to paying out our earned bonuses, Senior Management cancelled them. Their excuse: "We've spent too much time and effort on the sale to KKR that we dropped the ball on sales." So.... let me get this straight.... you admit that you cannot manage properly and then make your most productive employees pay the price? I resent Optiv and it's management. In my heart and mind they still owe me $8,000. TL:DR Optiv management is a bunch of liars.
