Pros: Lucid wants you to succeed. As an intern, instead of segmenting you off with an intern project, you are placed on a scrum team and treated like a regular software engineer. All of my coworkers have been friendly and invested in my career and success.

Cons: Recently a fair amount of benefits and extras have been cut back, but that is pretty standard across the industry right now in this recession.

Pros: Quality values and integrity and great people

Cons: Still a new fast growing company with occasional growing pains

Pros: Teamwork over ego is a lived value. Everyone is really eager to help each other and I’ve never felt unsupported on a task. There is lots of opportunity to learn on the job. I can tell they want to keep and grow talent at Lucid. There is freedom to switch teams. There are lots of really smart people to learn from. Management is pretty transparent. They hold regular AMAs and although they don’t always answer every question as fully as I’d like, it’s clear that they’re listening to people’s concerns. It is a really positive culture. People are excited about the work they do. Things generally just work pretty well. There are a lot of good systems in place.

Cons: The pay is average to low.
