Pros: The teams are all top notch. You will be working with some extremely bright engineers and a very capable and talented team on the business side. The product managers are reasonable and work well with the engineers, so you feel like you have a say in the direction of the company.

Cons: If you don't like to work hard or care about what you are working on, Lucid is not for you. We work hard and get a lot done, and expect that from everyone.

Pros: The CEO isn't a scum bucket like so many other startups. The CTO is brilliant. The bar for hiring employees is extremely high, so every employee is intelligent, hard-working, and contributes to the value of the company. We are already profitable, so your stock is immediately valuable.

Cons: The environment is too open - No cubicles or offices - So the sound propagates more than I would prefer. Easily solved by headphones.

Pros: My favorite thing about Lucid is that we get to work at a quick pace with relatively little overhead and process. Development drives the process instead of the other way around. It means that every week I get to work on a variety of projects and make contributions across the product. You can make a difference with the product where you want to make a difference. Lunch on Mondays and Fridays is great, as are monthly team activities, quarterly company activities, and the annual company retreat. Management is always looking for feedback. Office is a lighthearted and fun environment. It really is a fantastic place to work. Whenever friends or family ask, I tell them it is a perfect fit for me and has exceeded expectations.

Cons: I've had the thought perhaps the company would benefit from having some more experienced engineers. Really though, having a lot of young people has its own advantages too.
