Pros
Perennial is on its way to becoming the gold standard for MRV in carbon markets using remote sensing. The industry is young but growing quickly, and Perennial is poised to play a big role. The team is extremely talented, competent, and fun to work with. I really believe in the founders and other leadership, which is extremely important when working for a startup. It is inspiring to work on such an important cause in mitigating climate change. However, even if the work wasn't important, it would still be incredibly engaging because the problems we work on are novel and complex and require a lot of intellectual creativity to solve!
Cons
Prior to closing Series A funding, the team had a lot to prove and had to work hard to do so. There will likely be some growing pains now that we are trying to expand the team, but it will be great to have more hands on deck! The industry changes quickly and the long-term direction of the company therefore changes too. This requires that the team be nimble as they adjust to these changes.
