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.

Advice to Management

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.
