Pros

Resilient to the pandemic recession

Cons

The health insurance at Optiv has always been subpar especially when compared to the amazing plans at competitors like WWT. It's an expensive high deductable plan that leaves employees on the hook for 10's of thousands of dollars a year in premiums and deductibles while failing to cover things like Autism Therapy. This year, however, Optiv decided to take it a step further and conduct an audit of all dependents in an effort to throw children off their health plan. What an awful tone-deaf way to save a buck during a global pandemic! Optiv want's to be an employer of choice but it's hard to choose a company that uses a global pandemic as an excuse to target children's health coverage and defers cost of living raises, even though the company remains financially on target.

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
