Pros

I've worked in enterprise and growth companies over my career, which I have to say that Coalfire is one the best places that I've had the pleasure to join. The people are truly kind and "in it together". There's a lot of work, so not going to sugar coat it, but you have to expect that in a growth company. since I'm new, but loving it more every day. There's tons of opportunities for growth and there are growing pains, but if you are looking for a place that you feel that you're a part of something, then this place is for you.

Cons

Tons of work and not a lot of process foundation, but Coalfire has been hiring a lot of senior executives the last few months across the company, so excited to see how they build over the build over the next year.
