Pros

They attracted great people to work for them.

Cons

This company has stolen/ funneled billions of dollars, and is a front for the saudi royal family to create their own local electric vehicles while having the world pay-up for the technology and man-power to make it happen. They are currently investing billions of dollars into building a manufacturing plant in in Saudi Arabia to provide themselves with a fleet of vehicles. then will phase out Arizona. They have also wrongfully fired many people of color and of diverse backgrounds after they went public last year. Apparantly they ONLY HIRED MINORITIES IN ORDER TO GET THE SPAC MONEY. Good people got conned into this scheme and many of us figured it out eventually. It started to weigh on me when one by one all of the Senior Recruiters started to quit once they hit their 1 year mark. They should be heavily investigated by independent journalists. Shame on them for running a scam on the world after many good people believed and invested in them. Heavy work loads prevent work/life balance. Top-heavy Management makes the environment extremely "Corporate" and executive nepotism has perculated from above. To anyone reading this google "Saudi Arabia owns more than half of Lucid Motors"

Pros

High pay, good benefits, fully paid parental leave (8 weeks)

Cons

Dishonesty in hiring process and inconsistent schedule: I was told I would be working 4pm to 1AM five days a week, somewhat manageable with a family. They switched my schedule immediately after hiring (before even going to shift) to 5pm to 5Am, then 6pm to 2:30am, then 6pm to 5 am, then back to 5pm to 5am. I never actually worked the schedule they said I would, which really messed up my home life. On top of this, they will expect you to work Saturdays and sometimes sundays on short notice, sometimes on a Friday you’ll find out that you’re working on the weekend, full shifts, 12 hours. The work itself? I felt completely unchallenged. My title was maintenance technician, but I can’t actually think of much real maintenance we did. Recovery technician would be a more accurate job title, and it was dull. I came from a very technical background, expecting very technical work at Lucid, but it ended up being mostly resetting sensors and resetting FANUC robots, then resuming the line. The work culture sucks. Night shift was brutal, the managers (one especially) try very hard to please their superiors at the cost of their relationship with technicians. You will have “one on one” interviews every month where it’s actually two managers interrogating you and letting you know about some vague training plan they have for you, for some of the most menial tasks I’ve ever done in a decade of manufacturing.
