Confusing Company - Cant advise to join, at least for now!! - Systems Engineer bei Optiv: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Great work-life balance in the company

There have been many layoffs over the years

Solid exposure to a wide range of clients and security technologies. If you're early in your career or trying to break into consulting, Optiv gives you reps you won't get elsewhere. The peer community is genuinely sharp and you'll learn a lot just by being around good practitioners. Name recognition in the industry doesn't hurt either.

Growth can feel stagnant if you're not in the right seat or the right geography. A lot of the upward movement depends on visibility and internal politics more than merit. The VAR model means you're always balancing client work with vendor relationships, which can blur what "good advice" actually looks like. Compensation lags behind what the market is paying for the same skill set.
