Pros

-Guaranteed annual raises, for all roles, with a clear understanding of exactly what you can expect percentage-wise for the increase each year -Guaranteed annual bonuses -Good leadership in the Services org (Jason Lewkowicz is awesome, as are his leadership team members) -"Unlimited" Recharge (PTO; there is a limit to annual PTO allowed, but it's higher than I've ever even gotten close to) -Optiv has been consistent with forward progress, with growth and improvements, while I've been employed (~5yrs)

Cons

-Undesirable health insurance options; Only one PPO choice (UHC), and only from one insurance provider, of the two providers offered. Choices are UHC or Kaiser. UHC has a fine print in-network tiered system. If you choose UHC, be sure to read ALL fine print about the "blue heart rating system" that designates which in-network providers are tier 1 and tier 2, and after you read the fine print, keep researching/reading a little longer to be safe. Cigna was dropped this year (2023) for UHC, under the pretense the change was in the best interest of employees. -It can be very difficult to change orgs within the company. For example, going from Sales to Services, or Services to Internal IT Operations, is almost never done. -The percentages on the annual bonus awarded to you, is based on the company's success as a whole, for the applicable quarters. You could be granted only a tiny fraction of your possible bonus maximum target (i.g. hundreds instead of thousands).
