Mercurial leadership, no vision, just an exit strategy - Anonymous employee Optiv Employee Review

Take the negative reviews on this page seriously. The biggest issue at Optiv is the leadership at the very top. There is no consistent vision, only shifting priorities and performative messaging. Strategic direction is mercurial and often contradictory, resulting in confusion and reactivity rather than thoughtful leadership. The executive team doesn't seem to care about employees - only optics. Its all smoke and mirrors while the CEO seems to be looking towards an IPO or exit strategy. Opportunities for advancement or career growth are non existent largely because the business can't financially support them. The benefits package is also one of he worst in the industry, which employees have voiced concern for year after year, but no meaningful changes have been made. Feedback consistently goes unacknowledged, and morale suffers because of it. Worst part is the failure in leadership and poor business decisions have caused mass exodus and layoffs, leaving those still there to carry more weight, without any appropriate compensation.
