      Great pay & opportunity to learn, but stressful environment

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -pay is very competitive -promotions are quick for those who go beyond -amazing learning opportunities from very smart people -management genuinely cares about career growth of employees

      Cons

      -management is obsessed with meeting sprint requirements, even when they made mistakes in estimating difficulty -the burden of their mistakes falls on the engineers, making for many stressful late nights & weekends trying to meet these arbitrary deadlines to avoid being fired or put on a “performance improvement plan”

      Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. One of our core values is individual empowerment, initiative and ownership and we strive to empower employees and scrum teams to estimate the time required to complete their projects, as opposed to managers setting arbitrary deadlines without context. If employees ever feel like these expectations are unrealistic, we encourage them to speak with their manager or director to re-evaluate. -Kat

      Great engineering culture

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best software company I have worked for or can imagine working for. I get to work with really smart people on interesting problems using modern technology and engineering best practices. Lucid really lives its values, especially teamwork over ego. Almost everyone is approachable and helpful.

      Cons

      Lucid's open office workspace is central to its collaborative, team culture, but also means a lot of distraction.

      No upward potential

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Like all the software companies in the valley, the office is a fun environment. Lucid has a track record of recruiting incredibly bright employees, so you're always surrounded by greatness. They also offer the standard snacks and catered meals every monday.

      Cons

      There's not a lot of upward mobility. Once you enter a role, plan to stay in that position and that salary for a while. The promotions are small and the ability to move into new roles is limited. They tend to hire externally for leadership roles, and the company is becoming more rigid every day.

      Appreciate your feedback. We strongly encourage all of our employees to have career conversations with their managers. We want to make sure each employee has a clear vision for their personal career progression and we have dedicated resources to help managers be able to really help their direct reports succeed and realize their potential. But we always appreciate this feedback and I'm happy to discuss more with you if you'd like to chat. -Kat
