Pros

Layoffs are lame. Unlimited PTO is cool Tons of opportunity to work on different projects not necessarily projects you were hired to work on. 100% Remote work is great for awhile

Cons

Management direction changes with the seasons No clear career path explanations No mentorships No internal/external feedback mechanisms. No chance to move to other teams I would consider working at Optiv as a "beginner-friendly" place to work as a consultant. The sales process to get a client onboard takes forever. Want to be invited to a conference? It's about who you know.

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
