Pros

Only pro really is a paycheck but one cannot really list that as a pro since all places provide a paycheck and overall coalfire's is lame in comparison.

Cons

Not enough space here to list out the cons. Here's just a few - If you're over 30, forget it, you won't fit in. Working 60 hours a week is the norm, don't come in expecting to have a life. As mentioned previously, pay is pretty weak. That's just a few but the most prevalent.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
