Compensation is not competitive: low salary, low bonuses, no 401k matching, no gym benefits, essentially none of the perks you might expect from a Silicon Valley company.
Toxic work environment: abusive management and rude communication within cross-functional teams. Even as an engineer, you will be thrown into dozens of high-level meetings for no reason other than "visibility." Expect to hear that buzzword a lot, usually in the context of your job security.
Zero work-life balance: None. You will absolutely work nights, weekends, and holidays, typically due to rushed schedules and mismanagement. You will receive pings and phone calls at literally all hours of the day, as if every issue is an emergency simply due to the company's macro issues with low sales and dropping share values. You will be expected to work for the sole sake of preserving the egos of others.
Treat people like human beings.
Respect people's time.
6 rounds total. I didn't make it past the 3rd round technical interview. They are usually asking fundamental engineering questions related to Lucid vehicles or their powertrain. My advice is to research some of their technical videos posted, since
1st Round - HR Screening 2nd Round - Technical round with Hiring Manager – took around 40 minutes 3rd Round - Team Panel Interview with each team member - took around 3 hours
Lasted 6 weeks. 5 rounds, including a panel round with technical questions. Difficult questions, but the panel was quite understanding. The on-site interview was 5 hours, again with the VP and Director of Powertrain Engineering.
