... to get the issue addressed. And the outcome of it was they simply said sorry. Issue: They did not roll out the offer letter even after confirmation that I have cleared the technical round with the Senior director and upon agreeing for everything (compensation, NP etc) initially. Finally, if they find somebody who is okay with less compensation, your candidacy lands in garbage. No matter how many rounds you have cleared. Optiv totally lost my respect.

The people are amazing. Friendly, down to earth and enthusiastic

Dislikes

Variable pay is not a percentage of fixed and stays the same till a promotion!! My variable works out to 6% of fixed which is really unfair

OPTIV is a great Company, during my tenure i worked on multiple projects and lot of learnings.

Dislikes

Promotion and progression depends on the managers review, they ideally go as per their own makings interested of the actual skill set.

Dislikes

1. Celebration of workoholism. 2. India managers consistently not pushing back on poorly scoped (over commited under resourced) projects. 2. Treatment of India based individuals by US based managers. 3. Inexperienced people (including slackers) getting promoted in US.

Very bad company.. HR is of no use. Only focusing on her enjoyment. She does no work, very bias. Very bad leadership and management. Never seen this much miss managed and terrible leadership. No likes

Dislikes

They do favours with some people. Management is bad. They do not care about people value. Fire in seconds. People keep on changing. I think there is noone who worked in this company more than 3 years. They even fire senior leadership just in minutes without any reason
