Optiv reviews

I think the compensation offerings need to be a bit more competitive with the national market - but its' understandable in this climate Better direction at career pathing for individuals - too often people can be land-locked into one area.

- Healthcare insurance providers were changed a couple years ago, we now have UHC and the options are horrible - If you lose your coin flip and end up underneath bad management, you're on your own. If you have a narcissistic toxic manipulative manager, there's nothing you can do and HR won't help you at all. - Unlimited PTO is only true if you're in the right role on the right team under the right management. I've had roles with excellent PTO ability but the role I've been in for a couple of years allows for less than 2wks of PTO a year due to toxic management. Burn-out is so real. - Optiv loves to understaff teams. Internal IT, Sales, Services, every pillar has this issue. It take months and months to get approvals for backfills. If a team is competent and can work understaffed, Optiv will happily drag their feet because less employees means more profit. It's incredibly discouraging. - Annual raises can be anywhere from 1% to 7% and it's at your management's discretion how much of a percentage you get. You can work incredibly hard, be an excellent team player, make your clients happy, but if you have a toxic manager you won't get a good raise.
