Lucid Motors Manager interview questions

Quick and easy process using zoom. Scheduling process was smooth and everyone was on time and well organized for a fruitful discussion. Interviewer was open about company culture and challenges facing the team.

The initial interview started off well, I made a great impression on the first person I spoke with at length. So well, in fact, that they scheduled me a second interview to speak with the individual who would have been my boss. Now, the original interviewer said that she would understand if I didn't move forward as there were some circumstances that were less than ideal...but to just give him a chance and hear him out. Combined with the fact that it would also be a huge risk to leave what was my current employer with minimal notice, I was a hesitant to move forward but I want to be very clear in that it was presented as a "no pressure" situation. However, they rushed the process and when I crushed my second interview they basically offered me the job on the spot. I ended up sleeping on it, but ultimately declining the offer despite considering the role very seriously. But that's only part of the story... A year later I found myself back in the job market as a result of being impacted by company-wide layoffs. I reapplied with Lucid, and got a call from a recruiter. We chatted, and again I was off to a strong start and we scheduled another interview. But then they ghosted me. It was very odd (and frankly rude), but I moved on and continued my search elsewhere. Still, something seemed really...off about the way this went down. And a few weeks later I get an email request from Lucid asking me to complete a survey. When I did, I got to a portion that asked me to confirm a series of pre-filled, personal details. At this point I see it. Right next to my name, someone had tagged me "Do Not Engage". Now look, if politely declining a job offer is enough that you think blacklisting a highly qualified candidate, who at one point you were frantic to throw money and perks at to hire, I guess I dodged the bullet here. But for anyone considering this company, I wanted to post this just so you know beforehand exactly what type of petty, classless, and retaliatory environment you could end up in. I would encourage anyone considering working for these people to be very cautious when making such an important decision, and my recommendation would be to look elsewhere.
