Pros

— Looks decent on the resume — Ability to learn from very intelligent individuals — Bundles with excellent benefits

Cons

They continue changing our job description and obligations. Bosses tell me their set of responsibilities peruses that they manage a group of Consultants but they simply need you to sell work. You can do whatever you like as long as you're selling more. We have a toxic culture that is more in accordance with a fraternity. Ladies will have a hard time working in Labs. Their total absence of diversity is clear, and young white men are given genuine chances. The training spending budget would not cover the majority of sought after hacking courses. A few teams have a "famous students in school" attitude, and your standing with favored individuals is favored over your work quality.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We wanted to address some of the concerns you shared and encourage you to reach out to your manager, a member of our Human Resources team, or our AskMeAnything mailbox to discuss further. Staying current with industry trends is critical for us to take advantage of new business opportunities and ensure our business is both efficient and innovative. Our teams are constantly evaluating everything from our corporate strategy to our organizational structure and individual roles to ensure we’re focused on the right things as we shape our strategic plans across a dynamic cybersecurity landscape. As our clients’ needs change, or new cyber threats emerge, we may ask team members to learn new skills or support new initiatives to best position ourselves to help our customers. Many on the Coalfire team enjoy the opportunity to try new things, expand their skillsets, and gain experience across a variety of areas. Coalfire is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture. A big part of this involves hiring diverse team members, but we also aim to ensure we are supporting our team members at all stages of their career journey. We partner with organizations like Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS), participate in career fairs at HBCUs, and target diverse job boards to reach candidates who may not find the Coalfire careers page otherwise. We are also working hard to ensure that both formal and informal development opportunities across the company are fair, equitable, and available to everyone. Change does not happen overnight, but we firmly believe in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging to ensure Coalfire is a place where everyone can learn, grow, do their best work, and have the resources available to achieve their full potential.

Pros

Pay is decent. Benefits are so so.

Cons

Don't believe the positive reviews they are not true. I am working with them for almost a year and they have laid off people and keep restructuring. This is due to the CEO's and shareholders decision. Beware!!

Began positive, but ended poorly

Pros

The people are genuinely friendly, there is quality equipment provided

Cons

Balking about travel accommodations, no training provided for internal practices, cold "efficiency" with personnel employment (individual and team). Conflicting messages from management about expectations written vs personal. Upper management seldom available for clarification outside of email. Necessary information is lost because of what seems to be an avoidance of conflict. Constant pressure to cut costs at the expense of quality.
