Pros
Decent pay, especially for hourly employees. Not so much for some salaried employees. For the right people, there is lots of opportunity. The cars they build are top-notch. There are some great, smart, innovative, and truly good people working there.
Cons
Company culture is broken, or never really got a foothold to begin with. They talk great culture, but since the managers all come from a multitude of different companies, they all have their own ideas of what the culture should be. Almost none of the management have even read the employee handbook, the written corporate merit review procedures, or any type of business ethics material. Management violates the company written policies as a status quo, not as an exception. If you work for Lucid, and you are a victim of some type of type of harassment, bullying, or other issue, the management makes it clear you should not bring it up to them. Rather than deal with the issue, they will find a new way to victimize you, so it is best to keep your mouth shut. There is nobody you can trust to reach out to, as the HR department is part of the issue, and they will sell empathy and support to your face, while they cut your legs out from under you. This is ALL levels of HR, including senior management. Not sure what the motive (or ethical standard) is there, but it happens over and over again to several good employees. Good employees with bright futures, cut short because they were a victim of unprofessional conduct. As a salaried employee, I was constantly expected to put in 65+ hours per week with no additional compensation. In fact, many weeks were scheduled 72 hour weeks, which meant I made much less per hour than all my subordinates. Work/life balance is the worst I have ever encountered in a company. While hourly production employees get overtime (rightly so), and several weeks per year off with pay during inventory shutdowns, logistics supervisors rarely got time off. So, even more hours worked for nothing extra. Don't expect hard work, conscientiousness, loyalty, dependability, professionalism, or ethical behavior to make you a good employee. That is not what gets rewarded. Instead, that gets you "laid off" (i.e. fired). I am not bitter, and in fact, I am happy to be gone. Other employers have already reached out to me, so I will not be unemployed beyond the last day that Lucid pays me. I feel I am making up for not getting paid time off like most everyone else. I am sad that a company I expected to be my last job ever, turned against its early values and ideals to become the mismanaged mess it is today. I hope it gets better for those who I left behind.
