Pros

This is a fantastic team working on a really interesting set of problems, and has more traction than any other similar-stage startup I've seen. Cirrent has an incredible potential to have an impact on hundreds of millions of people, and to finally enable widespread adoption of the internet of things. Working here I work with really smart and hard-working people, have a big impact on the company direction, and see that we could have a huge impact.

Cons

There is a lot to do! The company spans many different domains, so I am often outside my comfort zone and have to learn new technologies and techniques.

Pros

Cirrent is tapping into a huge market and is positioned to dominate a space no one else is fighting for. There is huge career growth potential for all new employees as your responsibilities and rewards are highly coupled with your effort. A small team of skilled individuals means everyone must bring a lot to the table and be able to move fast and innovate. Amazing opportunities to learn and grow personally as well. The company office is in a shared space in downtown San Mateo, so there is high networking potential and a plethora of great places to eat.

Cons

The team is small and there is a lot to do. No one will hold your hand and show you the corporate policy; you must be able to think on your feet and make competent decisions.
