Pros

Like all the software companies in the valley, the office is a fun environment. Lucid has a track record of recruiting incredibly bright employees, so you're always surrounded by greatness. They also offer the standard snacks and catered meals every monday.

Cons

There's not a lot of upward mobility. Once you enter a role, plan to stay in that position and that salary for a while. The promotions are small and the ability to move into new roles is limited. They tend to hire externally for leadership roles, and the company is becoming more rigid every day.

Appreciate your feedback. We strongly encourage all of our employees to have career conversations with their managers. We want to make sure each employee has a clear vision for their personal career progression and we have dedicated resources to help managers be able to really help their direct reports succeed and realize their potential. But we always appreciate this feedback and I'm happy to discuss more with you if you'd like to chat. -Kat

Pros

- Very strong mentorship program - Very nice people - Some VERY good engineers, PMs, and designers

Cons

- Pay isn't competitive outside of Utah (but hey, at least we're hiring) - Like most other companies at our size, your success and satisfaction largely depend on the team you're on - Sales and product/eng could probably be better aligned to inform product decisions - Like most other SAAS companies, we're investing A LOT into AI. This could bite us in the future (I personally think we're in a bubble, and the consequences of over-investing will be very painful once it bursts)
