Pros

They have a casual dress code. French Quarter parking split between the employee and the company. Good view of downtown and the river from the office.

Cons

No work/life balance. Demanded all of my time, even nights and weekends. Management does not care about staff unless they are generating revenue, including IT and Finance departments. My vacation days requested off almost a year in advance were revoked the week I was to take them. They claim to embrace New Orleans culture but does so only to the extent that Management allows the staff off from work, which is rare. Culture is geared toward millennials so those of us who are Gen X are considered and treated antiquated, also something contrary to New Orleans culture. Finally, my manager would yell at me in front of the whole staff. This is embarrassing, does not motivate me to do good work and was ignored by the so-called HR department for reasons which I can only speculate. I am a much happier person now that I am working elsewhere.

Limited opportunity; be wary

Pros

Some excellent people work at Lucid. Coffee and breakfast provided, convenient location, and casual dress code

Cons

Unhealthy culture, lack of definition around career trajectories (a.k.a. how to get promoted), hiring externally to fill director or VP level roles rather than promoting internal people

Best job I've had... before Cint took over

Pros

Lucid has easily been the best company I've worked at, that was until Cint took over. The Lucid Marketplace was extremely competitive in the insights market, Lucid's employees are some of the brightest I've encountered, and the company culture was phenomenal. Lucid's leadership at every level was incredibly strong and great to work with.

Cons

Once Cint bought Lucid at the end of 2021 everything changed at Lucid. The new owners are actively working to kill off Lucid's culture and get rid of as many legacy Lucid employees as possible, despite those employees being a much higher caliber than Cint's own employees. In addition to this their model and way of working with chase away clients. Prior to Cint's takeover one of Lucid's main weaknesses was uncompetitive pay. The other positive aspects of Lucid made up for this most of the time. Cint's compensation situation is worse.
