Immature management with an exciting challenge on their hands - Anonymous IQM Quantum Computers Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and especially for your long-term contribution to IQM's success! We’re really glad to hear that you value your colleagues and the quality of the work - we agree that our people are one of our biggest strengths. At the same time, we want to acknowledge your concerns. The points you raise around workload, resource allocation, and feeling unheard are important, and we don’t want that to be anyone’s experience. We’ve seen similar themes in internal feedback, and improving how we listen and respond is something we’re actively working on. On compensation and career development, we’d like to provide some additional context. We recently introduced a new salary transparency framework and run bi-annual performance and compensation review cycles. Across the company, many employees have seen growth in responsibilities, role scope, and compensation over time, including a significant number of promotions in recent cycles. That said, we recognize that individual experiences may not always feel aligned with these broader efforts (especially during periods of transition) and that’s something we take seriously. Regarding career growth, as a growing organization we are continuously evolving our career paths across functions. While some areas are already clearly defined and others are still being developed, our ongoing growth is creating new opportunities and helping us make progression paths clearer and more accessible. If you feel comfortable, we’d strongly encourage you to discuss your situation with your team leader and our People & Culture team so we can better understand your perspective and support you directly. We also want to address your point about ideas not being heard. While we have multiple channels for employee feedback and regularly review input across the company, it’s clear from your experience that we don’t always get this right in practice. Making sure feedback leads to visible action is an area we continue to improve. Thank you again for sharing your perspective - it helps us reflect, and continue building a better experience for everyone at IQM.

Creating clear direction, well-defined responsibilities, and an inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable contributing are areas that remain important priorities for us. Feedback such as yours helps us identify where we need to continue improving. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
