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: I feel like I work with some very smart people pushing pushing technology in the browser and because it is a small company I feel that my work is noticed, expected, and appreciated. Working at Lucid Software has helped me to grow as a programmer and be far more confident in my abilities.

Cons: There are too many projects for too few engineers. We could easily double the number of engineers and still have plenty of work to do.

Pros: Lots of lovely, smart people to work with. Customers like the product, I like the product. Good job mobility. Consistent attention is given to improving internal processes. Good mentorship opportunities. Good flexibility around work/life balance. Lots of opportunities for ownership

Cons: Slowly I'm seeing many things I loved about Lucid vanish. Pay is nothing to brag about. Transparency into senior management's decisions has significantly faded since I began. It feels like employees might be getting pushed into the backseat in place of investor interests. I'm constantly training junior engineers.
