What makes you most happy at work?Solving complex problems and seeing junior consultants grow
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
What would you improve about your company's interview process?It took too long but was otherwise good.
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.
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.
