      Seems like a race to the bottom - Senior Technical Manager Coalfire Employee Review

      Pros

      Work flexability Good team Interesting Projects

      Cons

      No raises Instead try to give 'stock options'. Disguising giving them money as a benefit? It's a private company, no real market value yet. Dropping bonus to once a year Dropping utilization as main bonux metric for IC's. Can't help yourself to make up for poor company performance metrics. Other benefits are dropping each year.

      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.
