Lucid Motors

Great product. Stock potential. A lot of talented people around. A lot of learning.

• Low pay.
• Indecent stock disparity between management and engineers: recent additions to leadership get 500k-1M shares, while engineers get 5k. And then they tell you to come work 24/7 because you'll be able to cash out on shares.
• Leadership unresponsive, completely disconnected from reality.
• CEO goes on power trips and tries to rule by fear.
• If the CEO didn't see you on Sunday, you don't belong here. Complete disrespect for employees, and attendance is used as the only metric.
• No work from home allowed.
• No 401k matching (even post-funding).
• Crazy "no PTO" policies that go on forever.
• They send you a nice "Lucid wellness" postcard telling you to "have fun" while asking you to be in the office 24/7.

Try to realize the value of human life. Treat your employees as humans. Realize that if you keep doing this, you'll lose at least half of your (good) workforce. You may have an attractive company, but there are many options around the area.
