Optiv reviews

Take two high-performing companies full of high-energy folks that are driven to do the right thing, add in a bunch of integration uncertainty, and speed bumps are going to feel like driving off a cliff. There is still lots of change taking place, so if someone isn't ready for a challenge or isn't comfortable with change, it may not be for them till after integration stabilizes. Benefits are being realigned and don't seem like a positive change to legacy FishNet folks, but would probably seem fine to a new hire. Folks just don't appreciate what they have till it's gone.

While Optiv has been recognized for its innovative approach to cybersecurity, recent layoffs of senior leadership and management within the thriving Service arms have raised serious questions about the company's priorities and values. Many of those let go were disabled veterans who played a crucial role in the success of the practice, contributing not only as individuals but also as leaders and team members. Their dedication and expertise were invaluable, and it's disheartening to see such talent and experience dismissed. Moreover, the aftermath of these layoffs has been troubling. Employees faced threats regarding NDAs and non-compete agreements, which for many meant the end of their careers in consulting. This heavy-handed approach not only undermines the trust and loyalty of former employees but also tarnishes the company's reputation in the industry.
