Lack of vision, direction, leadership - Marketing Silent Circle Employee Review

Very smart people. I learned a lot. Remote first - work with people all over the world.

Revolving executive management. Uncertainty about company solvency.

The caliber of the people. Silent Circle has employed some of the finest minds in security and encryption in our industry. Additionally, the "can do" spirit of many of the ex-military folk who founded and drove the company is unequalled.

The competition. The risk. Silent Circle has a hard row to hoe. There are free and open software solutions that are nearly as good, but which are "free", and which are hard to compete with in the consumer space. Silent Circle has chosen, therefore, to go into the Enterprise space. While it is moderately clear that enterprises are not satisfied trusting strategic information to free software, it is also not clear that they are willing to do business own the scale that Silent Circle needs to be viable. The company faces substantial risk. Most of the founding and early employees thrive on risk and challenge. Building a stable successful business out of that involves a lot of risk and stress.
