Perception Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Pros
- Some of the engineers in the ADAS team seem enthusiastic about the work.
Cons
-
TERRIBLE recruiters. Poor attitude, poor response, and poor punctuality from recruiters throughout the process. The recruiter didn't show up for the phone screen call twice in a row without notifying the candidate. They also didn't show up on the day of the onsite interview and didn't bother to follow up post the onsite interview.
-
Requires a mandatory presentation on the day of the interview. This is not a presentation to prove the candidate is good, but rather to steal knowledge from the candidate as much as possible.
-
The manager's interview was the biggest joke. It showed a lack of foresight and understanding of autonomous driving in general, which is a big red flag for the future.
-
Please don't waste your time interviewing with this company with "32 sensors" for autonomous driving.

- 4.0Great Team, Demanding WorkMechanical Design Engineer • Current EmployeeFremont, California, United StatesNovember 9, 2025Pros: Lots of talented and hardworking individuals. Great growth opportunity. Pay is good. Good sense of community with regular team bonding activities. *Note: Not all of the above apply to all teams within Lucid. Just my experience.Cons: Not much work-life balance – maybe you already knew that. People managers are often overburdened, which can make it difficult for individual contributors to get the support they need. Teams can also be relatively small for the amount of work there is to do. It's a growth opportunity, but it also requires a lot of dedication from everyone to put in extra and do more than just the 9-to-5.
