Pros

Great culture for most of the the teams. Lots of opportunities to get involved and to be a part of the growth in the company. Management tries very hard to be transparent and to support our work-life balance. Lots of communication avenues for learning about things in the company.

Cons

Only concern is the hiring for diversity, this needs to be addressed with regard to people over 40. There is a lot of experience to be considered in people over 40. I think they are trying to be more transparent with hiring women, but age diversity is something they need to consider taking a better look at. Management should consider getting a new provider for the dental benefits longer term

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Coalfire is committed to supporting a culture of inclusion and belonging, and we welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds in all respects – race, gender, age, experience, background, etc. We seek out job boards that specifically target populations that are underrepresented in cybersecurity and partner with groups like WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity) and Skillbridge, a program designed to help veterans transitioning into the civilian workforce. We regularly look at demographic data to help drive our Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, and we have found the generational mix at Coalfire is well-distributed across a wide range of ages. However, we recognize there is always room for improvement. We greatly appreciate your willingness to share your feedback and have shared it with our employee-led Diversity and Inclusion Council, as well as our recruiting team. We will continue to seek out new avenues to find talented and diverse cybersecurity professionals in all respects, including age.

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.
