Pros

Unlimited PTO is not so unlimited. I don't want to generalize but you might get lucky to get placed on a project where you would learn and grow

Cons

Get ready to have the door slammed on your face. oh, also, the outplacement support Coalfire offers to former employees is smokes. I am writing this from a personal experience. Your position will be slashed, you will be replaced with no prior warning. Coalfire will offer former employees an outplacement support that does not exist. Such a shame that they would do that.

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.
