      Long hours with little company growth

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Numerous learning opportunities within the company.

      Cons

      Expect to work 50-60 hours per week and 70 + hours per week on busy weeks. Putting in the extra work won't get you anywhere, they expect it. You will also be expected to work outside of working hours to complete your goals that reflect on your end of year bonus (which is low bonus in general). If you are a female, be extra careful on how you speak. You're not encouraged to speak up or speak your mind. You will be reprimanded if you say something upper management does not agree with.

      Great Remote Culture, but Strategic and Staffing Issues Persist

      Senior manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Supportive remote-first culture with flexible work arrangements and solid benefits package.

      Cons

      Coalfire has a pattern of over-hiring, often bringing on large cohorts of new employees only to conduct layoffs within a few months due to lack of available work. Strategic planning and resource forecasting appear inconsistent, and performance metrics or KPIs are frequently delayed—sometimes not finalized until several months into the new year. The organization is notably top-heavy in certain teams, which can result in management being pulled into consultant-level work, blurring roles and impacting efficiency. Additionally, the rationale behind layoff decisions is often unclear, with some high-performing employees being let go while others with less consistent performance are retained.
