I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Lucid Software (Salt Lake City, UT) in Oct 2017
Interview
I was asked to apply over email before a career fair. I applied after talking to them at the fair, then did an hour long interview over google hangouts that was essentially a coding challenge, wherein the interviewer literally hung up while I did it. A few days later, I did another hour and a half long interview, involving algorithms and object-oriented design.
They didn't make me an offer. It seems that they put me through the whole process because my resume seemed impressive to them, but turned me down because my skills were unrelated to the type of software they work on (which was all in my application). Bit of a waste of my time if you ask me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a model for a family tree application?
I interviewed at Lucid Software (Salt Lake City, UT)
Interview
They have an intensive interview process with multiple steps, the first one being a remote LeetCode-style interview, followed by a more holistic interview with an actual person. I think there are more steps after this, but that is as far as I got. :/
After applying, you get an OA. If you pass the OA, you move forward to the first round, which consists of 2 very easy questions and implementing some logic for a game (important for your code to be *functioning* here). This round is about ~1.75 hours.
The next round is the final round, which is two back-to-back 1 hour interviews. The first part consists of DSA (2 lc meds/hard). The second round consists of behavioral+class design. The class design implementation gets hard each time.
Overall, expect to dedicate ~5 hours for everything. Seems ridiculous given the pay and the prestige of the company.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Lucid Software in Oct 2025
Interview
3 Parts, one OA, One 1.5 hour logic implementation with code, then 2 hour pseudo code and class modeling interview. The second part was with 2 different teams, one of which had a senior engineer and asked behavioral and technical questions. Most questions are pretty simple algorithm implementations, such as BFS or DFS.

Question 1
Asked to make an algorithm for a graphing problem or implement some logic for a couple games.
