Pros

Lots of opportunities to make a big difference in the product and company processes.

Cons

Toxic workplace because of executive leadership who fail to lead by example. DEI leadership was laid off a year ago. DEI does not exist - do not let the Lucid website fool you. HR exists to protects executives, not employees. Employees are overworked- expect to work long hours. Unclear and frequently changing policies have resulted in me spending thousands out of pocket for this job. Peter Rawlinson encourages the company to continue to work with the "startup mindset"- this results in a lack of clearly defined roles and responsibilities, lack of process, and just mass chaos really. If you're smart you will end up taking on more responsibility than you can handle once your leadership realizes you are actually competent and can get work done. Feels like 5% of the engineering groups do actual work, and the rest just screw around and pretend to be busy. Constant burnout. Lucid used to throw company events and socials but it is rare to have one these days. As a woman I have experienced stalkers, creeps, unnecessary comments about my appearance and clothing choices, and blatant disrespect, and none of the men I reported were fired or reprimanded. My physical and mental health have severely deteriorated because of this job.

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.
