Svantaggi
Coalfire has a pattern of over-hiring, often bringing on large cohorts of new employees only to conduct layoffs within a few months due to lack of available work. Strategic planning and resource forecasting appear inconsistent, and performance metrics or KPIs are frequently delayed—sometimes not finalized until several months into the new year. The organization is notably top-heavy in certain teams, which can result in management being pulled into consultant-level work, blurring roles and impacting efficiency. Additionally, the rationale behind layoff decisions is often unclear, with some high-performing employees being let go while others with less consistent performance are retained.
