Pros

*Flexible time off (if you can actually use it) *High upward mobility due to the number of people leaving *Work from home *Work with some really good people

Cons

Coalfire is going the wrong way. The VP level and above is in it to line their own pockets. It’s a good ole’ boys network at the time that rewards scheming, politicking, and manipulation. When the company was acquired by APAX, the folks in the CEO’s “club” were rewarded much better than a lot of others that were there from the beginning. True disgrace and opposite of the way the original founders would have run the company. Today the company continues to struggle with high turnover. Most impactful is all the good VP level employees are gone....dozens of them. The writing is on the wall, which is why I’ve started looking myself. I have no idea what Apax was thinking as the internal mandate from the top is to run the workforce at an insane pace to meet Apax’s expectations. It’s only going to continue to get worse with COVID, high bill rates, and a culture that continues to decline. It’s a shame to see this place fall apart the way it has.
