Pros

From the very first phone call I had with Coalfire, I knew this was the company I wanted to work for. The management team is the epitome of what you look for in a good leader: knowledgable, loyal and personable. You can tell that Coalfire is a company that really cares about its people, and keeping employees happy is a priority. The company culture is extremely relaxed, there is no micro-managing and work-life balance is a priority here. After leaving a company with outdated processes and policies, it has been so refreshing to work for a modern company thats innovative and employee focused.

-Ongoing reorgs -When raising concerns, prepare to get lip service with little to no meaningful action taken -New hires are unable to get the appropriate level of support when they need it due to everyone's busy schedules -Pay and benefits are NOT competitive -To get a substantial raise or promotion, you'll need to be part of your manager's clique -FTO is difficult to take due to excess workload and limited resources -We've been unable to retain top talent for years due to all of the above reasons
