Pros

- Great people who are truly dedicated to the field - Flexible working conditions - Excellent position in a very competitive field - Many types of relationships with partners and customers - Rapidly growing company that is learning and not set in its ways - Accessible leadership that cares

Cons

- Lots to learn as an organization - Many processes are new or not well defined - Many of the business challenges at IonQ are present throughout the quantum information industry or any nascent technology company (complex IP concerns, new product definitions, export control challenges, lots of unknowns, etc)

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.
