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.

I'm constantly training junior engineers.
In many aspects, Lucid follows in the shadows of other companies, copying good moves that other companies have made, but not really trying to set the example. It would be awesome to see Lucid distinguishing itself instead of huddling into the middle of the crowd.
From an employee who has seen what Lucid used to offer to employees, and what it offers today, I think the trajectory needs to change, or Lucid might cease to be a competitive option for highly skilled individuals.

They have an intensive interview process with multiple steps, the first one being a remote LeetCode-style interview, followed by a more holistic interview with an actual person. I think there are more steps after this, but that is as far as I got. :/
