Pros

There is an intense focus on hiring really bright people in every part of the business (engineering, product, business) and it makes all the difference. Though everyone is really bright, they are also a fun and collaborative group. The products are also top-notch and the company is intent on pushing the boundaries, so there's no shying away from tough technical or business challenges.

Cons

The company is growing fast and there still aren't a lot of processes in place. This makes it easy for employees to innovate and to take ownership, but it does not fit everyone's personality.

Pros

I've worked for a couple of Fortune 500 tech companies and a medium size startup, and I enjoyed many aspects of those experiences. I worked with some very talented and accomplished people. They had great resources. Their products made a big impact in the world. At Lucid Software, the team is as talented and enjoyable to work with as any team I've had in my career. People are capable and work hard. The focus is on the work and people don't have big heads. The CEO works to develop all employees, both personally, and by assignment through the other managers. People throughout the organization are asked to participate in conferences, interact with customers, and contribute to company strategy and planning meetings. A lot is expected of me, but it is exhilarating as I'm provided latitude, trust, and support.

Cons

The work is demanding, but I would not have it any other way. I work hard, but my manager is aware of my efforts and sensitive to making sure the work is not too much. People who want a 9-5 job would feel uncomfortable here.

Pros

* The people - Although with the high turnover rate almost everyone I started with has now left, so can't really speak on that anymore. * Cool office - The office is quite large and due to the layoffs/burnouts/people quitting, the space feels empty and cold. * Lunch - Nice catered lunch on the mandatory Tuesday and Thursday office days.

Cons

In conclusion, Lucid's leadership will push the boundaries as to what it can get legally get away with. That in essence is your culture. Temporary contracts, concealment of pay scales, skimpy vacation/benefit offerings, a blanket statement of 'we match the industry standard' without telling us what that standard is, a mis-match of WFH policies based on your job title, a lack of resources associated to training and development (having to jump through hoops for a €40 a month coursera program was insulting), a lack of career opportunities in the EMEA office since everything is sales or sales supportive, a lack of investment from management to make current roles more efficient and streamlined, ...... and much much more are a reason as to why your turnover rates in EMEA are abysmal. The water-cooler conversations that you so desperately want us to have every Tuesday and Thursday are mainly around where everyone currently lies in their interview processes elsewhere. Those that can leave have left, those that can't are burnt-out, and those that don't meet the above are probably in the category of people that are causing the above.
