Lucid Motors is a joke - Anonymous employee Lucid Motors Employee Review

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.
