Pros

Lots of good people, good food and vibes, cool growth opportunities, cool silicon valley level group activities, company wide yearly retreat, budget for training etc. Some of these things are actual value and some are perceived value, extras. Will someone stay in a job they hate because they get free pizza every Friday? For most, no. Those are fun things to tell your family and friends about the cool new tech job you got. People stay for the job satisfaction, the people that they work with and report to, and salary. Things like that. Lucid still has that for the most part. Especially in Engineering department and other tech positions. Sales might not be as much. When a company grows this fast, its hard to keep up, no matter what the position. But growth provides career and learning opportunities and makes it way more exciting to be at Lucid. Something that the company is doing really well at are things like inclusion, specifically around gender, race. leadership positions, raises etc. You can feel confident that they will hire/promote you if you are right for the job.

Cons

In my opinion you pay for all the extras out of your salary compared to what other companies would pay. Every department is experiencing growing pains. They are still figuring things out.

Pros

- Very strong mentorship program - Very nice people - Some VERY good engineers, PMs, and designers

Cons

- Pay isn't competitive outside of Utah (but hey, at least we're hiring) - Like most other companies at our size, your success and satisfaction largely depend on the team you're on - Sales and product/eng could probably be better aligned to inform product decisions - Like most other SAAS companies, we're investing A LOT into AI. This could bite us in the future (I personally think we're in a bubble, and the consequences of over-investing will be very painful once it bursts)
