Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rivian nel mese di ott 2021
Colloquio
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn and we connected to set up an initial interview. I was told it was going to be a 45 min phone interview but they ended up changing it to an hour and 45 min video call. A couple hours before that interview was scheduled, they rescheduled the interview with an unclear email. I was a bit taken aback, but I passed that interview and went onto the "second and final round". They switched recruiters on me during this process who I was assured had many years of experience and that I'd be in good hands. The second recruiter was late to our call and was aloof during our conversation. They told me that they scheduled my interviews out of order and that I'd have to do 3 rounds in total. Got ghosted after this round, even after I followed up.
Overall, poor scheduling and poor communication on the recruiters' part. Don't know if I just got unlucky or they treat all their candidates like this, but really poor form coming from a company that just IPO'd. Would not recommend.

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.
