Pros

Free snacks, some very bright engineers, nice office.

Cons

Notice that the vehicle launch keeps getting delayed. It was and still appears to be a mess at Lucid and upper management knows it. However, they have a lot vested in time and high hopes of astronomical stock gains. That is their sole motivation and they will convince younger engineers that they are "changing the world" to exploit them into working like machines for poor pay and benefits. 1. There is zero work/life balance at Lucid and they will work you like a slave. 2. HR is for show only. 3. Engineering solutions are very rushed rather than well thought out and if you take time to think you will be treated like a pariah. 4. It is supposed to be launched any day, but critical areas where safety is a serious issue have been largely ignored. 5. Unfair distribution of stock benefits.

Pros

Lot's of very smart people and great technology. Salary okay and stock option good (it it is ever worth anything!)

Cons

No money to get things done and long hours that end up in nothing productive. With no real leadership no-one is going to invest in Atieva's future no matter how many investors you parade through the HQ site. Also,the closed door meeting in Chinese are not respectful to those of us that do not speak Chinese. Hong Kong techniques will not work in Silicon Valley.

Pros

World class engineers on deck with the "change the world" mentality. Tremendous learning experience and exposure to senior engineers. Rapid advancement (as an engineer) possible if you exceed targets/goals. Generally everyone at the company is truly excited by the mission and doesn't mind working seven days a week until the job is done.

Cons

- High turnover, multiple executive staff including CEO that recently resigned. - unclear expectations, highly disorganized - Shortage of engineers (high turn over) - Arrogant, prideful, inflexible and "always right" type of management - Untrustworthy, no principles in Human Resources Department - Poor communicators misleading in Human Resources Department - Unpredictable behavior and management direction. - Multiple micro managers - Negligent in developing employees or helping them get ahead. - Inappropriate or unfair discipline — shows favoritism. - Uses accolades to intimidates or bully others. - Human Resourcs Department has no respect for employees’ privacy or rights. Shares salary information with former/other employees. - Overpaid engineers, underpaid G&A, Legal staff - Gossiping/personal issues brought to place of employment and highly effecting managerial attitudes and issues.
