A tech company where people stick around
Pros
-Most people are here because they actually want to be here. -Lucid has the energy of a start-up but the discipline of a mature company. -The company is in a high-growth market (for obvious reasons, virtual collaboration tools have taken off over the past couple years) -Teams work on truly thought-provoking problems (e.g. what is the best way to help a team accomplish a project in a visual way?) -Lucid cares about its people. People encourage you to have a life outside work. -People don't take themselves too seriously here. Our CPO wore a bowser costume for Halloween last year. -Collaboration is a lived value. You won't get far if you try to lone wolf everything. -Leadership is invested in your growth. They are constantly asking about career goals, motivations and keeping an eye out for opportunities.
Cons
-As with any company, politics does rear its ugly head every now and then. Although, having previously worked at a Fortune 50 corporation, it's child's play here. -Depending on the job, compensation can be at or slightly below industry average. Not too big of a gripe though since cost of living in SLC is fair and definitely below that of the Valley. -Company plans on requiring all employees (except Sales) to be in-office which, while not a problem for me, has been a source of friction for others, especially new hires -Lucid has a habit of hiring most people locally instead of outside UT so diversity is an area of growth. Although, this is changing.
