Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rivian
Colloquio
Contacted by recruiter. Interview process took to much time, since the position/team were changing during the process. Recruiter's team was unorganized, sharing wrong data several times (time or name/position of scheduled interviewer). Some of the technical interviewers never showed up due to double-booking of their time and not letting me know about that. Very stressful.
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.
