Lucid Software FAQ

Pros

-The leadership team is world class -They invest in their people and reward those who work hard -They are actively involved in helping close deals -Salary and benefits are solid, especially the accelerators

Cons

-They have a limited PTO system based on an accruing schedule whereas most similar companies now offer unlimited PTO -Some of the change management is clunky/slow, systems often get in the way of closing deals but they try to help when possible -Quotas are high relative to previous years, you have to be more creative to hit your number

Advice to Management

Reconsider quota assignments to be more in line with previous years. Ambitious goals are great, but it ends up hurting your people when they can't hit their number and they're more likely to look elsewhere for a company that can capture more upside.

Pros

- Tremendous executive leadership - Fun product to sell - Great office culture in EMEA - Very few "tech bros" in the company. Professional but relaxed culture. - Good pay

Cons

- Sometimes lack transparency around decisions being made - Decent benefits package, but average-at-best compared to other tech companies of similar size.

Advice to Management

Be a bit more transparent around decisions being made, and reasoning behind it. There's a tendency for management to hold cards very tight to their chest, which ends up slowing down front-line workers, or cause confusion and miscommunication.

Pros

Team work over ego rings true with what this organization says is one of its core values. Cultural is awesome and everyone is friendly, people really care and people foster great ideas! Benefits are awesome including maternal leave, 401K and a sabbatical.

Cons

Would like to see ability to cross train more between departments. The ability to do a day of volunteer time off once a quarter and/or a four day work week, while still operating Monday- Friday would be a great benefit and increase productivity but again this team is leading in its industry for benefits.

Advice to Management

Continue to stay in a startup mindset! I think Lucid could create even more products than it’s current line to help it’s clients.

Pros

-Managers believe in you and really care about you -I can make an impact to the company -I can try out and gain skills in areas I would like to develop -Great work-life balance -Great perks (annual retreat, snacks, gym, climbing wall, games, catered meals, wfh stipend, mental health benefits) -Fun culture, everyone is friendly -We are growing rapidly so you must learn to adjust quickly -Transparency through monthly meetings and company updates -They seem to care about diversity and I have seen that improve over time -Excellent benefits -Doing exceptionally well with managing our money especially in the time of the pandemic -Innovative and willing to pivot quickly -Listens and cares about IC thoughts and ideas

Cons

-Not very many women in leadership

Pros

Really capable of growth and great people there. Good benefits and good work/life balance.

Cons

Really political. If you're not hyping up Women in Sales or not consistently drinking the kool-aid and kissing up then it's just an awkward experience.
