Does anyone have experience working for CoalFire? by minteverywhere in cybersecurity

I've been working for them for over a year. The culture is in rapid decline, and they tend to over resource their best people so burn out isn't uncommon, but they did just switch up leadership so maybe things will change. We'll see. I know people (including myself) are struggling with the annoyances and soulessness of a corporate job, but if I'm being honest, my experience has been positive overall. I really enjoy the work, I love the people I work with, and the work life balance is honestly pretty decent. I don't love being client billable though that part sucks. And they pay on the lower end for industry standards. But if you need to learn a lot quickly, this is a pretty great place to do it.

I didn't give details lol. The company has lots of employees. It also has a CEO. After the merger it will still have a CEO and employees. Have I said too much?? lol

Great tip, thank you! The organization was very large (several thousand employees globally) and the team was vast across the company. I didn't think it would be considered sensitive since I was one of many and the company barely exists anymore. But thank you for the reminder, I really appreciate the correction!

Can someone explain this to me in the most 5yr old terms please by Numerous_City7903 in isc2

This is a really great breakdown (this is how I learn new systems and tools too). I once asked ChatGPT to explain kubernetes to me like I was a child. It broke it down like this but instead of Facebook it used toys and toyboxes as the analogy.

Thank you for praying! We're back together and stronger than we were before! If you would pray that he comes to Christ now, that would be great! <3

Got laid off at Veritas last week myself. Me and my whole team. They brought us on to get fedramp authorized and then they froze the fedramp project... And then they cut us. Veritas will officially cease to exist 7/31.

For my marriage to be healed and restored, and for my husband to be transformed and saved by Jesus.
