Recruiter called a little over 2 weeks after I applied. Phone interview was mostly to describe the in person interview - procedural, I'd say. Not much in the way of getting to know me. I met with 3 people - no one was on time and they seemed distracted and disinterested. I'm at a loss of why they called me in the first place. I took note that the place looks like the student union of a college campus. It is a sea of 20-somethings, which I was warned about prior to applying. Then I read the president's post on LinkedIn about waiting to find the perfect candidate "someone who fits" and who is "raw" and realize I never had a shot at Lucid to begin with. I was told to not bother with this company because I'm over 35. Too bad - great products and customers. I don't think the place is very inclusive or diverse though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a customer issue that you solved and what the outcome was.
You’ll notice all the other interview reviews for this position are negative? The interview process was poorly managed and communication was lacking. It was obvious this is a new department within a startup company. The process was overly drawn out (5+ meetings) across several days and there was little consideration paid to the interviewees time. Overall, the interview process resulted in giving a negative impression of the company.
