Pros

Great place to work solving incredibly fun/difficult problems and blazing trails on the bleeding technological edge. Expectations+challenges are high but who doesn’t want to be part of building the most technologically advanced/efficient EV in the world. From a Data/Software/ML perspective I can’t imagine a better opportunity than this, a growth-stage EV manufacturer. The data volume is huge and growing, making it even more rewarding to engineer platforms that are leveraged every day to solve problems across the business. The company is very data driven. Overall I think the world of my coworkers at Lucid. Every team can be different, including remote work opportunities. That said if you are good/hardworking and hungry to expand your skill/ value you will find a role. It’s also nice to be working towards something that makes the world a better place.

Cons

It is an extremely fast-paced environment which requires individuals to exercise a certain amount of self-discipline in engineering solutions. Failures can be magnified. It can be tough being too busy to take on all the internal projects you’d like to assist with.

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.
