Pros

The hiring process was unlike any other. Being so spread out geographically, they made it easy to interview and interact with everyone. They took the time to answer all my questions and respond in a timely manner.

Cons

On-boarding is still a work in progress. There were things that I needed access to on day one that I did not have, but thats been pretty much the same at every company that I have ever worked for.

Optiv as a New Company

Pros

Absolutely at the forefront in the security business, excellent levels of expertise and knowledge. No end of good prospects for this business. Nothing but tremendous growth on the horizon. This company is looking at the future and focusing not on what's happening now but on what's coming and where they need to be in order to succeed well beyond today.

Cons

Still suffering a lot of pain from the transitioning of two separate companies with their own philosophies and processes into a single integrated well focused organization. Eventually it will be a smooth running machine but right now it's still somewhat bumpy. I think we are top heavy which concerns me from a business intelligence level but so far no major issues with the new build. Work life balance right now is poor, but should improve as the merged company works thru all the transitional challenges.

Pros

I recently joined Optiv at the beginning of August, during my short tenure here I have quickly assimilated into my role as Solution Architect and have created a bond with my team here in South Florida. Prior to coming on-board I was a loyal FishNet Security customer since 2008. I kept recommending FishNet as a partner wherever I landed because of their technical capabilities, honesty, and vendor agnostic approach to recommending solutions. I can honestly say that Optiv follows the same principles and has also added a mission, "Create confidence for a more connected world." My management and colleagues support my efforts with helping customers find a true partner to collaborate on projects and services. Optiv has even developed a comprehensive security program to help customers gauge their maturity level in terms of Information Security. I'm very happy to be a part of the Optiv family and able to provide the same help and guidance to my customers as I received in the past!

Cons

Since the Accuvant and FishNet merger recently completed, I found that not all internal systems have completely merged and there has been some delay with obtaining proper access to certain applications. It's obvious that these are just growing pains and should be behind us in the coming months.
