      Pros

      There are some great minds in security here - attack, defense and compliance. Whatever aspect of security you are into, you will find yourself in good company.

      Cons

      I have a suspicion that some lines of business are working on similar problems but sometimes miss opportunities to collaborate with each other. It is nothing awful, we have plenty of communication tools and everyone is helpful but sometimes it is a matter of asking the right resource. Or maybe as security minded people we do not necessarily (or cannot) speak about what we are working on. Probably the latter.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad to hear you appreciate the talented and knowledgeable team we have at Coalfire across various aspects of security. It's encouraging to know that you find yourself in good company here. We recognize the need for even better collaboration across different lines of business. While it's true that security work can sometimes require discretion, we're always looking for ways to enhance our internal communication and ensure that opportunities for collaboration aren't missed. Your insights are invaluable as we strive to bridge these gaps. We also appreciate your positive feedback about our leadership team's transparency and market expertise. Your encouragement to "keep the course" means a lot as we continue to grow and evolve.

      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.
