Pros
Exceptional vision and leadership. Rick Dakin and the executive team have created a place where companies can come and get there problems solved in the IT Security arena. They take the mystery out of a process that can be intimidating and complex. They create an environment for opportunity seekers. A junior admin can change course and focus on GRC and risk management and cyber security. Through mentorship and guidance, an employee can be supporting a fortune 500 company at the highest levels. Commitment from the employee is highly rewarded.
Cons
Coalfire is a small company so there is no place to hide. If you don't like accountability then Coalfire is not the place for you. If you thrive on challenges and get a kick out of building a company that other companies depend upon in critical situations, the Coalfire is the place.
