Worked at Coalfire nearly two years - not a pleasant experience. - Security Consultant Coalfire Employee Review

Career opportunities are limited when compared to other consulting firms. After two years of dedicated, hard work, I had still not advanced my career. Despite carrots from upper management ("Once you get this cert/finish that project/do this speaking engagement"), I was told it was always just around the corner. Similarly, it's well known that the founders (who have created several other companies together) are building Coalfire for the purpose of selling it to the highest bidder. While this isn't necessarily a negative point in itself, the culture and management reeked of a factory farm - employees are driven hard, and executives pay no mind when there are complaints or problems arising as a result. I was one of those who often made waves to improve morale and company culture, and the result was disappointing, to say the least. Overall, my time here was a learning experience, but miserable. At different times, I found myself harassed, insulted, and even discriminated against, with a strong indication it was to be swept under the carpet and not reported up the food chain. I'd give it less than 1 star, but apparently that's already the lowest option.
