Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The process was fairly quick and pleasant. Started with a 1:1 video interview with an engineer who administered some coding problems and then left me for an hour to complete them. There were three DS&A problems, two easy and one medium-hard. After the hour, we spent some time discussing my solutions, next steps, and about the company.
The final round interview took place remotely two weeks later. There was another DS&A portion for an hour, and a design/behavioral portion for an hour. The first was conducted by two engineers who asked two problems. The second was by an engineer and an engineering director who asked a design problem and a few resume questions, then chatted with me about the company more.
Overall, the process was similar to other tech companies but the problems were a little more unique (not problems you'd typically see on HackerRank/LeetCode, except for one of the problems). They were also a bit easier than what I have experienced elsewhere.

- 5.0Great company, excellent work culture, fun workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSouth Jordan, UtahOctober 30, 2017Pros: * (Engineering) Very capable, smart people, but a culture of teamwork and inclusion. I feel trusted and capable, but also surrounded by mentors. * Catered meals Monday and Friday * Stocked company kitchen * Beautiful office * VR room (to blow off steam) * Annual company retreat * Great benefits * Annual company 3-day hackathon * Awesome management (open, communicative, available) * Excellent opportunity for advancement and development * Fun technology * All levels of management care deeply about the employees * Well-run companyCons: * Pay rate leaves much to be desired - of my several offers out of college, Lucid's was the lowest by a fairly wide margin. * While an expectation to work extra hours does not exist, there is a developing cultural pressure to do so. * Open office can be noisy - nothing a cheap set of earplugs or earbuds won't fix, but can be distracting.
