Pros

Received small raises every year that accumulated well. Received <1k bonus's annually Had supportive managers

Cons

1. I was on the federal side and there are not as many opportunities so I was stuck on a contract. 2. Often felt like I wasn't apart of Coalfire, but my clients employee. 3. Communication was tough. If everything is going well then not much to report.

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.
