Pros

I've worked in enterprise and growth companies over my career, which I have to say that Coalfire is one the best places that I've had the pleasure to join. The people are truly kind and "in it together". There's a lot of work, so not going to sugar coat it, but you have to expect that in a growth company. since I'm new, but loving it more every day. There's tons of opportunities for growth and there are growing pains, but if you are looking for a place that you feel that you're a part of something, then this place is for you.

Cons

Tons of work and not a lot of process foundation, but Coalfire has been hiring a lot of senior executives the last few months across the company, so excited to see how they build over the build over the next 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.
