Pros

AMAZING teammates. I've never met a company that lives their values more than Lucid. Be prepared for amazing co-workers that make it hard to leave.

Cons

Lucid is very frugal and will nickel and dime you. Historically, they'll say that they are "benchmarking salaries" against a normalization process they went through a 1.5 years ago. However they don't share any of that data with employees. If they're going to use it as guides, they should share the data anonymized. Lucid, you shouldn't pay people in identical roles, a 20k difference for the same title & role. Expect to fight for fair market value salaries. Additionally, Lucid has some weird personnel structuring going on.

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)
