Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
freedom to be me and respect my experience and point of view
Always willing to help and teach
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Beware leadership who has been with the company a long time. The most tenured leaders are there because they've taken zero accountability for any shortcomings and have instead gotten very good at finding subordinates to ridicule and blame.
Innovation and disruption rather than trying to bet on the future.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Commission structure can be very lucrative.
quarterly payout promotes conversation about your professional progress
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay is great here, you will likely make good money. However the tradeoff is laughably bad benefits. If you intend to have kids on your medical plan be prepared to pay a lot. Additionally MOST employees are not given or offered any vesting opportunities to the top can pocket all the profit from IPO.
My base compensation is pretty good.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I truly appreciate the level of commitment, expertise and desire to do right by the client.
Highly knowledgeable, willing to work to get the job done, personable
Everyone genuinely wants to meet amd exceed client expectations.
My coworkers are great but were all a bit anxious working in an environment where it feels like we have to read our boss's mind because asking for clarification or help is immediately labeled as incompetence. We are all looking for new jobs.
we have diversity of thought - we bring our prospective together to develop best solutions to our client

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone in the rank and file works to meet our customers needs and accomplish what our customer needs. They are also supportive of new ways and ideas
From the outside the culture looks great but be careful if you miss too many social engagements because of family. Leaders act family friendly but most are not and few have children.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Accountability and cohesiveness at leadership level.
Developing a company culture again
What did you like most about the interview process?

getting to understand the vision for Optiv 2.0 and leadership being honest to our current state
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It took too long but was otherwise good.
What makes you most happy at work?
Solving complex problems and seeing junior consultants grow
Solving client problems and helping them achieve their goals.
Tackling a new problem together with my team.
building relevant solutions but thinking over the horizon to prepare our clients to navigate the new world order
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Optiv is focus solely focused on an IPO which means promoting offerings that we cannot deliver on or even worse promoting solutions that we flat out don't have yet. We need to be more honest about our capabilities and stop trying to artificially inflate our value.
What do you like best about your company?
Flexible schedule, remote work environment supported, unlimited PTO
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
strategy and vision, better marketing support for service lines
