Will be joining Lucid Motors soon as a SWE. I already heard bad things about their wlb and etc. Can anyone tell me if they pip/lay off swe's a lot? If so, how bad?? #lucidmotors TC : 180K YOE : 4
It's a new company which is in its crucial initial ramp up phase. So naturally work pressure will be high. I fell if u can put up for 2 or 3 yrs it had huge upside with stock.
Unlikely lucid will ramp up production to significant numbers in next 2-3 years.
There is a twitter channel @bearsworkshop . They do a flyover of lucid arizona factory. The progress from last year is insane... and they have huge backing from Saudi Arabia

Dude, the fed put Lucid motors on a pip. You’re too down the totem pole. Don’t worry
IMHO don’t join Lucid. If you are in for the stock comp. Just buy shares instead
I work on one of the software teams , WLB before production was insane , 58+ hours weakly easily, but now things have eased a lot. And I have a pretty good WLB unless a customer bug comes in. That review is very team dependent btw
Oof… Lucid will be hell as a SWE. I’m in my final weeks with them. Moving jobs and so grateful for it. Been with Lucid 2 years and it’s clear execs live in a delusion with unrealistic expectations. Marketing first company.
Fundamentally it's a red flag to be hiring on to a place that's laying people off. Lucid was a very trying contract that I was actually glad to not be enticed to stay on as an FTE. Im happy to hear my local Starbucks is hiring.
Really depends on the team you'll join but I haven't heard of any PIP. Spoke with a high up and lay offs are unlikely as we're trying to work on a lot of things including Gravity and the next car after that
What’s the interview process?
Hiring freeze, yes most likely. Layoff, don’t think it’s likely but who knows. Pip, cannot be worse than the rain forest company.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but a friend of mine works there and from what he describes, it is kinda unhealthy. He works 70+ hours and hasn't taken a vacation in 3 years. His manager is also toxic. Sorry! Hope you'll be more lucky.
If his tc is 500k, it worths
