Pros
Great Product Ideas Great company Mission Free snacks and soda
Cons
The company as a whole: - Nondiverse leaders - Terrible at communications - Running on improvisions - Clumsy processes - Subpar Compensation & Benefits (No annual merit increase) - Questionable company culture and values. The HR(people) Department is run like a dictatorship and they continue to hire upper management with a similar mindset. The current leader came from Samsung and his management skills are questionable as he is not a people's person at heart. HR continues to emphasize wellness and health, but they don't put much effort into it. For example, they sent out greeting cards in the mail to say "Stay Healthy". It would've been better to have recognized employees by hosting an employee appreciation event for a week with free meals. I can't say for other departments but HR won't value your findings when you identify gaps or bottlenecks of the current processes, they'll hear you out, but they won't take into consideration of the positive impact of your proposed ideas. Again this is tied to the dictatorship management style. An example would be in Schindler's List (the movie) the scene where the engineer informs the SS officer about the poor foundation of the building. She gets killed on-site and then the SS officers take her feedback to rebuild the building. That's the style at Lucid Motors.
