Pros

- Great product - Stock potential - A lot of talented people around - A lot of learning

Cons

- Low pay - Indecent stock disparity between management and engineers - recent additions to leadership get 500k-1M shares while engineers get 5k. And then they tell you to come work 24/7 because you'll be able to cash out on shares. - Leadership unresponsive, completely disconnected from reality. - CEO goes on power trips and tries to rule by fear. - If the CEO didn't see you on Sunday, you don't belong here. Complete disrespect for employees, and attendance is used as the only metric. - No work from home allowed - No 401k matching (even post-funding) - Crazy "no PTO" policies that go on forever. - They send you a nice "Lucid wellness" postcard telling you to "have fun" while asking you to be in the office 24/7.

Pros

Brilliant, dedicated, sophisticated, and empathetic people all around you. Unfortunately none of them are in positions to call the shots and turn the company culture around although all of them yearn to. Company has great technically and you will gain invaluable experience….all this at a great cost.

Cons

Perception first, sales second, safety third, quality fourth. You will work long hours, believe you can steer titanic away from the iceberg for probably a solid 4-6 months, then realize that the more you stick your head out and stand up for what you and others think is right, the more likely it is your head will get chopped. Then you will become like everyone else and work carefully to not step out of bounds, punt responsibility off to other groups, and ultimately feel powerless as you try to last long enough to keep your sign on bonus, relocation, and last until your stock options vest. I really thought I was going to my dream job and that feeling lasted for a few months. Now I feel like I’m trapped with no way out. I honestly would not be too upset if I was fired as I would probably at least add a few years on to my life.
