      Low morale and poor pay overshadow good benefits

      Developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good amount of annual leave, Remote(For some people) / hybrid working, Yearly profit share bonus ( but doesn't make up for bad salary)

      Cons

      Extremely poor pay , well below industry standard when compared to other companies in England outside of London. Lucid has always paid poorly , but it seems to getting worse each year. morale at the company is extremely low, many people not enjoying the projects they are on . and feeling really under appreciated. Either management don't realize how bad morale is , or they just don't care. People on Co-dev projects are often over worked and treated poorly, Lucid do nothing to help with this. Many people are becoming burnt out. It seems lucid no longer care about employee's health and well being. Offices are quite bad , with concerns not taken seriously , there was a big improvement with opening of a new office , but still i would say it is not up to standard.

      very low pay

      Game developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      new offices have standing desks

      Cons

      Pay has gotten ridiculous. Pay boundaries have gotten lower increasing with inflation. No pay raise for promotion. Junior salary is way too low considering how much the cost of living has gone up in the past 5 years. Pay at higher levels is about 40k less on average than at other companies. It feels particularly bad when co-developing with people who are getting paid triple your salary. Different rules and treatment for different people. Some people have low workload while others are very stressed and working over their hours. Tough projects causing people to burn out, and then will be at risk of PIP Offices are dark and a bit gloomy to work in. Little collaboration on some projects. Can be isolating. Some things feel performative for social media

      Stable company to work for, especially considering the UK Industries horrific state

      Game designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Good Projects + seemingly stable within the industry considering their plan and spread vs. other companies I've worked for (already been made redundant from multiple other studios' layoffs, often due to mismanagement and horrible financial decisions) - Friendly People and good attitude to work, everyone works hard and for anyone coming from a hard-core crunch or tight indie studio, there is often little need to "carry" the project by picking up the slack of less skilled staff, although this could be different project to project so try to research and reach out to workers. - Huge respect and push for personal health, time management and respectful management and leadership as long as you are willing to talk about it. HR has helped me a lot already with health circumstances. - Nice refurbished offices and a flexible hybrid or remote schedule (project dependant, you are well informed during the interview process what expectations will be) - Down to earth upper management - Bonuses and work events are pretty well structured, but don't make up much for low pay

      Cons

      - No set-in-stone, company wide career progression path with consistent goals for all, and promotions don't come with much pay respective of the position raise - Low pay, including a lower than realistic cost to relocate too. ^Although admittedly, outside of being in the industry 10+ years, the UK games industry across the board suffers from these flaws, especially vs. US/Canadian jobs
