Pros

Amazing, smart, and passionate people. Quantum computing - Coolest tech to be working on in 2021. Small and nimble. Going public in a few weeks so more investment in tech, people, sales, product is likely coming. Supportive and collaborative culture.

Cons

Some people are remote and some are on-site in College Park, UMD - we will need to focus on communication as we continue to grow. Some growing pains, for example more processes and tools are needed in some areas , but only if they help us move faster. The company is still under 100 people, so lots of growth is forthcoming and I hope we're ready.

Pros

Interesting misson and some talented individuals to work alongside.

Cons

IonQ aquired the company I used to work for. The company culture and employee experience changed significantly and, in my experience, not for the better. I was terminated during a restructuring while on protected maternity leave. There was no prior indication that my role was at risk and no meaningful communication leading up to it. The termination was delivered via video call, followed by two weeks of severance. This occurred during an already extremely difficult personal time, and there was no acknowledgment of that context in how the situation was handled.
