I've worked in enterprise and growth companies over my career, which I have to say that Coalfire is one the best places that I've had the pleasure to join.
The people are truly kind and "in it together". There's a lot of work, so not going to sugar coat it, but you have to expect that in a growth company.
since I'm new, but loving it more every day. There's tons of opportunities for growth and there are growing pains, but if you are looking for a place that you feel that you're a part of something, then this place is for you.
Cons
Tons of work and not a lot of process foundation, but Coalfire has been hiring a lot of senior executives the last few months across the company, so excited to see how they build over the build over the next year.

We're thrilled to hear that you find Coalfire to be one of the best places you've joined, with a supportive culture and abundant growth opportunities. Your enthusiasm and dedication are appreciated as we navigate our growth phase.
We do acknowledge your feedback about the need for more process foundation. Your input regarding staffing, resources, and training is invaluable as we work towards building a stronger foundation for our future success. You're always welcome to share this insight with HRfeedback@coalfire.com
Excellent place to work. Company culture is one that seems hard to find elsewhere nowadays. Managers care about their direct reports and not only want them to succeed but actively help them gain experience and develop the skills they need to advance in their career. No expected to work crazy hours beyond standard 40 every week but extra hard work never goes unnoticed
Cons
Could benefit from hiring more support in associate positions and build a strong foundation to promote internally

Pros
WFH and flexibility in working schedule.
Cons
Uncompetitive pay; unrealistic expectations of their workforce; annual re-orgs; toxic and incompetent leaders with the exception of a couple. There is no room for growth/advancement, but that doesn’t deter them from saddling employees with more responsibility without compensation.
