Process
The standard interview process begins with applying via the career page, followed by a quick 15-30 minute call with a recruiter.
An interview was scheduled after the phone screening. The problems began at this stage when the hiring manager decided to reschedule the interview with less than 20 hours' notice, moving it out a week.
It's understandable that scheduling conflicts occur, but to reschedule with such short lead time is frankly unprofessional, especially via email and during evening hours when people normally do not check emails.
During the interview, the hiring manager asked if I was applying to other jobs. I felt this was an inappropriate question and it made me feel very uneasy answering it.
Upon answering, the hiring manager shifted to a very dissatisfied expression through body language. Within the next business day, I received a rejection. While my answer to his question may not have been the deciding factor, the optics here suggest otherwise.

Lucid Motors Work Experiences
- 5.0Company on a missionAerodynamics Engineer • Current EmployeeNewark, California, United StatesMay 8, 2020Pros: Amazing engineers delivering incredible technology. Well-funded company with sound spending. Electric cars are awesome.Cons: Some growing pains in the transition to a production company.
- 1.0Great potential, worst company culture I’ve ever experiencedSenior Engineer • Current EmployeeNewark, California, United StatesDecember 23, 2021Pros: Brilliant, dedicated, sophisticated, and empathetic people are all around you. Unfortunately, none of them are in positions to call the shots and turn the company culture around, although all of them yearn to. The company is great technically, and you will gain invaluable experience. All this comes at a great cost.Cons: Perception first, sales second, safety third, quality fourth. You will work long hours. Believe you can steer Titanic away from the iceberg for probably a solid 4-6 months. Then realize that the more you stick your head out and stand up for what you and others think is right, the more likely it is your head will get chopped. Then you will become like everyone else and work carefully to not step out of bounds, punt responsibility off to other groups, and ultimately feel powerless as you try to last long enough to keep your sign-on bonus, relocation, and last until your stock options vest. I really thought I was going to my dream job, and that feeling lasted for a few months. Now I feel like I’m trapped with no way out. I honestly would not be too upset if I was fired, as I would probably at least add a few years on to my life.
