Lucid Group Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process had two parts. First was a cultural fit interview. They seemed taken aback and defensive when I asked about negative Glassdoor reviews, giving canned responses instead of being open. Then, a technical interview happened where they faltered on advanced strategy, offering client-facing jargon instead of real expertise, revealing a disconnect between their image and reality.

It was a pretty chill interview process, very direct. They asked a lot about my work style and if I had prior pharma agency experience. Time management was also a topic. It was a quick recruiter chat followed by an interview, not a drawn-out process.

Started with a call with the recruiter, which was pretty good. They asked about what I know about the agency, my past experience, and what I'm looking for in terms of work and pay. Then there was another interview with more questions about my skills, if I knew the company, my resume details, and what I expected from the job. The last interview was with some team members, and it covered pretty much the same topics as before. The whole thing took about 2 to 3 weeks.

It was a pretty typical interview process: first an HR screen, then a phone call with a senior manager where they asked some general questions. After that, I had a task-based interview. The weird part was how much they emphasized the writing task and presentation. We spent most of the time talking about it, and they seemed annoyed that I hadn't spent days on it beforehand, unpaid. They were really focused on the task, and it felt more like a test for me than a mutual evaluation. I managed to answer questions on the spot and elaborate on my presentation, but looking back, expecting more than half a day for a presentation was a lot. When I asked about the role and my responsibilities, they were vague or just told me what I wanted to hear, like 'we're flexible' or 'you create your own role,' which turned out to be totally untrue. The job wasn't at all what I expected based on the interview or my past experience. One person interviewed me in person, and others joined by phone. I didn't end up working with any of them, and the hiring manager wasn't present. I never met anyone I would actually work with. With hindsight, these were definite red flags, but at least I learned something!
