This review is not of the current Silent Circle company, but of a previous (failed) incarnation . - Recensione dipendente - Engineering Manager presso Silent Circle

If you are enlivened with , new inventions, new leadership, and hands on work this company is for you. Building a team and able to implement new ideas and be a part of something up and coming... this company will excite you.

The negativity from other employees can be intimidating if you let them get to you. The culture is of change but also of opportunities but the mentality has to change and employees need to be more grateful of the opportunities given to them. The new leadership who is willing to take the company to the next level. Everyone needs to be attuned to the new era of SC but unfortunately some are stuck in the past.

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.
