Ho presentato la mia candidatura di persona. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rivian (Los Angeles, CA) nel mese di nov 2021
Colloquio
The recruiter of this company sent an email to set up a phone call interview, so I scheduled one. I wanted to know about this opportunity available from this unicorn. However, it ended up negative. Probably recruiter does have any knowledge about tech, but that is not an excuse. The person with who I had a conversation just denies people who have not used it. She denied me because I use C# at my current work. I did not know what to say after I heard her responses.
7 rounds of Interviews
Mix of HR, Resume Deep Dives, System Design and Coding interviews (C++, CUDA, Python , Pytorch)
System Design Focus on autonomous driving for higher Levels of autonomy
Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rivian nel mese di set 2025
Colloquio
i had total of 4 rounds of coding and 2 system designs
i struggled with 1 coding round, i wrote the solution but it didn't pass all the test cases, i guess it was considered as failure, which i can understand
they conducted additional round of coding and i solved the problem even with the follow up question.
Rivian decided to give me down level offer which is 50% of the salary that i was getting from one of faang company.
very disappointing.
Recruiter told me their bar is so high (but not the salary) and i am not good enough for senior role.
5 rounds of interviews. HR, HM, Live Coding, System design, Cross functional. Lasts about a week or two in total. All were done online. All in all a good experience.
