      Optiv is an Exciting Place to be Right Now

      Pros

      The entire organization is rallying right now to deliver on transformational change. There is a motivating sense of urgency to accomplish clear goals. There is a work hard/play hard atmosphere. Managers encourage independent thought, while also maintaining team spirit. Although the organization is large in terms of impact and revenue, it feels close-knit and lean. It's easy to navigate company resources compared to other firms. I find management is accessible and integrates a wide variety of ideas. There is a very deep bench of talent to work with. This is a winning team of professionals with high standards of performance.

      Cons

      Benefits are getting better right now, which will make the pay package even more competitive. I'm pretty sure Optiv will be adding 401(k) matching. I believe they will also be funding a portion of HSA accounts. That is something to ask about to confirm.

      A Fun & Challenging Ride

      Pros

      Over the past 6 months I got to experience the challenges and opportunities associated with the merger between Accuvant & FishNet. Like I've told those that work with me, if you went into a merger of this size / importance, and didn't expect a few bumps in the road, you were being naive. The one thing that has stood out through the process is the people. People that are passionate for helping others, protecting our clients and their organizations, learning new technologies, and working with some of the best and brightest security experts in the world. In the hallway in KC, I was speaking with a CIO from what of our clients and his quote to me was, "One thing is obvious, all of you really seem to enjoy working here.". That epitomizes what I see on a daily basis.

      Cons

      Not really a "Con", but as we transformed from Accuvant, Fishnet, to Accuvant+Fishnet, to Optiv, there has been significant change in a short amount of time. With some employees, that are more sensitive to change, were impacted more than others. Although disruptive at times, in the majority of scenarios it was necessary and simply part of the transformation process. We need more people to help out! Optiv prides itself in providing our clients with the resources needed to be successful and are in an industry where we are always hiring people with security expertise, positive attitudes, and an appetite for learning new technologies, working on interesting projects, and being part of the growth we are seeing in the security industry.
