Pros

Working within the consulting practices of Coalfire is one of the greatest learning experiences for a cybersecurity professional. You get to assess, consult and work for clients from a broad range of industries and sizes, seeing unique approaches to a multitude of cybersecurity challenges. You also work around many bright minds whom you will learn much from, and this will challenge you to become a better cybersecurity professional in the process. Overall, a competitive benefits package with good FTO/PTO are a good draw.

Cons

The 2023 economic conditions have impacted a lot of Coalfire clients, which means there has been an impact to Coalfire in the process. But management seems to be committed to shoring up, streamlining processes and acting quickly to be an innovator as new technologies and security franeworks emerge (e.g., AI).

Pros

Work/life balance Clear bonus structure Education pursuit (To an extent)

Cons

My first experience was terrible with the team I was on, and I was luckily able to make a parallel move but if you're unable to do that, it can really suck. Just like with any company, there are great teams here, but some can be pretty terrible all around and will not change no matter how much you make it known.
