Pros

Being the "new guy" you never quite know what to expect but what has stood out to me is that everyone really loves working here. With the merger it's a great feeling to know you work for the largest information security company in the U.S. and it's still growing rapidly which translates to new growth opportunity for employees and advancement within the company. Leadership is great and gives a clear direction for the future of Optiv.

Cons

I came on several months after the merger and all the challenges it created so speaking from just being an Optiv employee and not a previous Fishnet or Accuvant I don't see any cons to date. .

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
