Pros

Perks & health benefits, if it's important to you.

Cons

Startup is a sinking ship. Restructuring took place that left employees feeling very untrustworthy and uncertain of leadership team, management, and their futures at the company. Morale and energy reached a dangerous low that the company just couldn't seem to recover from it. Leadership team cleaned house, and then left, either forced or resigned. Managers are a mixture of way too hands off, or up in your face micromanagers. Department heads, all the way up to VP's are incompetent, and don't have any business managing people. Hard work seemed to always go unnoticed. WAY too much internal politics for such a small, and now very lean company.

Pros

Rigetti is great place to grow in a number of dimensions as a software engineer. You will be surrounded by talented mathematics and scientists. Their discipline is infectious and you will likewise be treated with respect if you bring a strong software skill set to bear on the company mission. This is not a place to come work if you want to be the star of the show or catch a rocket to the moon (quantum computing is a long term technology). But if you like to grow technically in a number of dimensions, this is a good place.

Cons

The company is not new and the industry is still in an R&D phase. Technical challenges lie ahead before financial sustainability.

Pros

Nothing comes to mind - place was awful - left the minute the opportunity presented itself

Cons

Everything here was awful - tons of cons - too many to list completely Management was highly political, unfocused, unprepared Monitoring was non-existent Teams competed against each other instead of working together Non-trivial was the catch phrase for not doing the right thing ("collaboration" here was a joke)
