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.
