Pros
The people at Lucid is excellent, and their recruiting efforts have been successful in bringing together a group of wonderful individuals. The management team is also great. However, the recent shift to a top-down approach across lucid has altered the perception of managers among individuals. They are now viewed as just that… managers. Rather than 'leaders' who are (were) respected for soliciting and advocating for change within their respective teams. They're no longer trusted to lead change, just follow orders from execs. Great data and platform team for all user reports, usage stats that you could ask for. Good enablement content for revenue teams. Comfortable office. Great product. It's an excellent mature company outside of the glaring compensation issue.
Kontras
Compensation, in order to understand this feedback it would be helpful to understand historical context: In the pre-COVID era, Lucid was an outstanding place to work. Even then Lucid's compensation model was below average for the Utah market, yet employees were willing to accept this for the exceptional office culture. With the rise of remote work, however, this model has become increasingly untenable. Despite the changing landscape, Lucid has not yet adapted to meet even Utah compensation, let alone the national averages. No, i'm not talking about competitive bay-area/big city compensations i'm talking actual averages. This issue has been recognized by the senior leadership, who view market and competitive compensation as 'simply not in line with Lucid's philosophy.' It was interesting to see that with the recent round of layoffs, all of my effected colleagues (excluding two junior people) have successfully secured new roles with higher base salaries than all of the IC’s on our our team at Lucid even higher bases than our managers.
