Pros

Free food, some nice people

Cons

Very low percentage of sales hitting quotas, people struggling and stepping on each other's toes to get there. Way too many internal meetings with multiple stands up a day and 1:1s. Struggle to see how anyone can have a positive experience here unless you are new or delusional. Favoritism is rampant throughout the org. Everything seems perfect in the beginning but eventually you realise people don't really care that much about a diagramming suite (as much as the company wants to tell everyone it's not just diagramming, it's "visual collaboration"). Also imagining many of the positive reviews have been asked to write nice reviews here so take it all with a grain of salt.

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)

Pros

- Great emphasis on work life balance - Excellent team - Supported any kind of work (on-site, hybrid, remote) - I love coding so I'm glad I got to do it

Cons

The con is a pretty huge one. Despite how much I enjoyed my time working at Lucid, I have to bring down a star for their communication. When I was let go from my internship I was told I did a good job but wasn't hired back with no real reason at all. Originally I thought this was due to layoffs but was shocked when I was practically blacklisted from getting hired back as a software engineer a year later. Multiple other interns at the company got hired back, yet when I tried I was met with an "insufficient performance" reasoning despite me keeping up pace with the rest of my team and receiving nothing but positive feedback the entire time. It's just a little upsetting considering I was really passionate about the company before and during my internship. It sucks to be labeled by your dream company as unforgivably incompetent for things that could have easily been fixed with a performance review or even a simple conversation. I wasn't even given that much work to do, so it doesn't really make much sense to me. It's like I wasn't given the same amount of grace as my peers, despite being in similar situations. It's a shame, not just for me but for them on losing someone that would have dedicated themselves to the position.
