Pros

Staff were friendly and very smart. Depending upon who you work with you may be able to learn alot.

Cons

Management does not provide provide regular training for employees. When they do provide training, they will ask you to sign a statement promising to repay them if you leave within a year. Travel is nonstop. Current management has not been able to handle the increase in business and as such projects are delayed and poorly planned and managed. Coalfire believes that what is a good salary in Colorado is good for Boston, Atlanta and California.

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.
