Pros

Coalfire is a great place to work for an individual who is very self-motivated and can manage a lot more than just the technical aspects of the work.

Cons

As a consulting company, the time pressures often triumph the need to do a good job on quality assessment. Often the assessor doesn't get a lot of support from management in dealing with clients unless they're unhappy which creates a 'fire drill' culture where everyone is trying to put out a crisis.

Unless you’ve got literally no other option, reconsider

Pros

Remote work, 401k, client travel

Cons

Advisory practice is completely rudderless. All of the competent people have left, and the rest (including senior leadership and the EVP) have no idea what to do. Re-orgs happen every 6 months and they can’t pay people enough to stay. Offshoring of talent to Argentina continues and the org proudly boasts about their large presence there now. Quiet layoffs and out-of-nowhere PIPs were common for years and have only accelerated.
