Pros

-Pockets of good leadership -Average compensation -Ability to work from home

Cons

I've been with Coalfire for 6 years and the leadership just can't seem to figure things out. One day the delivery team is specialized, the next day generalists. Things aren't any better on the sales side either. There is a constant shifting of account ownership, which causes complete chaos. These massive organizational shifts happen annually like clockwork. The motto of the company is, "if it's not working, let's go back to what wasn't working before to see if it works better now." It's total chaos. I've seen numerous customers leave because we can't seem to get out of our own way. Add to the mix that our fees continue to go sky high. It's become a joke which is why I'll be leaving first chance I get.

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.
