Pros
Optiv attracts great people, this is a great place to get lots of experience in security, and you get to network with technology partners, which you’ll need when it’s time to find a new job.
Cons
Management values the Strategic Account Reps but the Enterprise and Commercial reps are just cogs in the machine. Management is under intense pressure to deliver an exit for KKR and while there is talk of an IPO, it’s behind schedule, so it’s not a great environment. You don’t hear about the layoffs but they’re happening. Again and again. And there’s no severance, so you just get cut from the team and out you go. Loyalty only goes one way. If you go to work here be in it for yourself because despite what they may say, the management team doesn’t care about anyone but themselves.
