Pros

Optiv has helped me scale my career thus far. There are plenty of opportunities to move up in this company. Paid competitively. I have the flexibility to construct my own definition of work/life balance. My manager is easily the best person I have worked for so far in my career - hands off, down to earth, funny, and trusting. My manager actually cares about me and my success in the future.

Cons

When I travel to Denver, there is a ton of drama. Not-so-great benefits package - very expensive and Optiv doesn't contribute much to FSA/HSA. I find that disheartening considering the revenues. I've worked for companies with significantly less revenues that contribute $1,000 to FSA/HSA. They could easily do better in terms of benefits.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
