RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Optiv full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great people. There has been some turnover at the ELT level, but it's been for the better. Optiv is becoming more mission-focused, and is working to clarify how we turn that mission into action. Benefits have improved in the 3 years I have been here, I think the "people focus" has become much stronger in the past 2 years. Senior leadership in my area of the business is phenomenal. I mean that. Id have a really hard time ever leaving that group of people. The company is also in a terrific spot within the industry, the country, and the world. With the backing of KKR, at this time, I believe the company is able to make the necessary investments to grow the business to where it can stand effectively without a PE firm in the future.
Cons
Health benefits are still high. They've made improvements in 2019 but certainly not where we need to be, yet. That's still part of the people-first focus and I expect it will only improve with time.
We're still working on effective communication streams between company silos. It's getting better, but can still present a challenge. I wouldn't say it's particularly worse than any other company of this size/age, perhaps I just feel it more in my position. I have faith we'll get there.Advice to Management
Keep rewarding your employees (like you're starting to do quite well). Keep some stability on the ELT (I suspect we're getting to stable now, or very soon). Spend as much time as possible speaking about the specifics on how we'll carry out the mission.

Application
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiv (Raleigh, NC) in July 2017.
Interview
The interview consisted of an online portion, plus several phone calls with managers and potential peers. It was not difficult or taxing for a person that is qualified for the position.
Interview Questions
- The questions were typical of what you would ask a consultant with a particular field of expertise. Tell me about a difficult customer situation and how you handled it. Tell me about your experience with X technology. Answer Question
