What used to be an awesome company and a fantastic place to work has been ruined by corporate greed. We used to be like family, but it has turned into a company of worker bees only looking out for themselves because their micromanaging boss is continually hounding them. Never mind the fact that you bring in over a $1,000,000 a year in MARGIN for this company, (and only gross $140,000,) you must sell more, more, more just to keep them off your back. Forget about having a family life because they don’t care like they used to. It’s all about making Blackstone’s money back for them so they can get even more wealthy alongside the executives at Optiv. Meanwhile the foot soldiers at Optiv are working their butts off for mediocre pay, ZERO equity in the company, and benefits that get worse and worse every year. I should have known it was coming when on 8/16/2014, the Accuvant CFO accidentally copied the entire company on an email that basically said “we are losing recruits because we don’t match 401Ks. To get around that, we are going to start matching 401Ks, and I am going to make up the money by increasing employee contributions to their health care.” Well, they certainly followed through on their promise. Didn’t expect it from guys I respected, but the executive team are all invisible now anyway. I guess big brother is hounding them too
