Lucid Motors Reviews

There are so many negatives I don't even know where to start. Everything that Lucid is trying to accomplish is rip off of Tesla. Except for the fact that Lucid isn't trying to do self driving. So in reality the car is an electric vehicle that can go fast, has a super roomy interior and costs over $150k. Genius. The culture at Lucid is beyond toxic, it's really a carry over from all the awful managers that were fired from Tesla. Bad managers are kept and even in some cases protected by their respective VP and HR representative. Ground level employees are blamed for anything and everything that doesn't go as planned. Several times there have been instances of someone in upper management flipping out on junior level employees just following his orders. Everything must be done the exact way Tesla did it, there is no value add or discussion about doing things in a different manner. When people finally see behind the facade and leave, management goes out of their way to disparage and degrade the employee including their contributions to the company. Also, Lucid has no money. Investors see the car and are impressed. Then they talk to management at Lucid and leave without investing a penny. All the open job requisitions are only there to give people on the outside that every thing is fine. It's not. Management has been telling employees that funding is right around the corner for two years. The sad part is that most of the employees have been drinking the kool-aid and are genuinely hoping that funding is right around the corner. It's not and even if the funding is around the corner executing the plan will be impossible with the current management team. Employees have gone to HR and told them about managers that have made sexist, bigoted and simply offensive comments. Their response is typically "we know but there's nothing we can do, that Manager is high performer" or "we'll look into it". We'll look into really means HR will go talk person that complaint was about and let them know an employee made a complaint. From that point moving forward that manager will make your work life a living hell. The worst part of the company is the pervasive culture of lying to the employees. Management is awful, the building is a dump, the culture is toxic, HR works for upper management and they don't pay very well.

Hubris (/ˈhjuːbrɪs/ from ancient Greek ὕβρις) describes a personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence,[1] often in combination with (or synonymous with) arrogance. The ultimate downfall of lucid rests solely on the shoulders of its leadership. They exhibit all the negative character traits of Elon with none of the showmanship. The attitude that “we only have to be slightly better than the model S” was prevalent throughout the company. The main leadership is mostly mechanical, they have never valued the software side, and with that all the talent was allowed to walk out the door. Directors would argue that designs were fine even when they were failing in testing at alarming rates. Teams passed off shoddy work hoping that they could re-do it in “alpha continuation” or Beta. How a company conducts business when money is tight shows far more than when the coffers are full, over the past year there has been no effort to boost morale, to retain the best engineers, to make this place like it once was. The attitude from HR has been that if we can’t solve all the problems why even attempt to solve any. At one point we were the company that everyone thought would make it, but now the office is the most depressing it has ever been. It’s empty, entire teams have disappeared, and being spread across 4 different offices makes it feel like there are 10-20 people left that show up to work. Don’t worry guys 6-8 weeks!
