DEI does not exist

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

-a paycheck ever two weeks. (then again, every employer does this) -driving the car. (that gets old after a while) -potential opportunity for travel. (if you're fortunate enough to chosen) -RSUs (not very enticing when your RSUs were issued at $60/share and the stock is trading at $6/share)

Cons

-lack of performance based incentives. (aka commission or bonuses) Combine that with lower than industry standard pay, you get a perfect recipe for extremely high employee turnover. -salespeople within Lucid Motors are treated as second class citizens. Within Lucid's sales org, it seems that Inside Sales advisors are treated as the upper echelon, while Studio Advisors are the bottom of the barrel. -lack of growth opportunities. Other than moving up to a management position within the studio level, there is no growth opportunities for employees internally. -lack of work/life balance. Understandable within any startup organization, and within a sales role. However, without performance based compensation and incentives, there is no motivation to grind and outperform. Besides low pay, this alone is the number one reason as to why employees are being burnt out to a crisp within Lucid's sales org. -Incompetent management. An overwhelming majority of managers within Lucid's retail operations have no prior automotive, or professional sales background. Selling a high end, luxury EV through a 3-8 month full sales cycle with multiple stakeholders is vastly different compared to selling clothes or beauty products.

COVID Protocols & Antiquated Practices

Pros

So many talented people that care about the EV market.

Cons

Lucid has long hours, sure but that is expected from a start up. What is not expected for a start up is for execs to tell you that you must be in office from a certain time to a certain time. Never in a billion years have that has been the case for a start up when people are working long hours everyday. Now, the biggest issue with Lucid is how they continue to handle COVID protocols. They say they email the office when someone tests positive in the office, but in fact they do not . Lucid does not provide or help you get testing which during the holidays it is nearly impossible, yet they continue to demand that people come into the office.
