Pros

Great people - In general everyone I work with is really nice, helpful, and supportive. The corporate support staff has been very responsive and easy to work with, and my smaller departmental team is the best. I'm not micro managed and I'm given time at work to study the changing technology related to security controls. Some travel is required but its been flexible. Also the customer base for Coalfire is very good, interesting and growing major companies.

Cons

After kind of a slow onboarding processes I was thrown into the consulting fire right away. Kind of shocking but a learning experience.

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.
