Vantaggi

- High potential - Great product - SOME highly skilled, smart, and driven people in the company

Svantaggi

-Starting to get too political. Some people try too hard to stand out and constantly bark even though what they say is not helpful. - Super long hours, (60-80+ hrs weekly and no salary/bonus adjustments. New hires, make sure to divide your salary by 60 to get real hourly wages.) - Terrible work-life balance - Unnecessarily high hiring spree, 100+ new employees weekly - Office is meh (used to be a school) - Bad snacks and drinks which directly affects those who work 60+ hours (we need fuel!) -Some aspects of vehicle are too focused on design, and lacking function. But design/marketing team doesn't listen to engineers and car enthusiasts.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. Preparing to launch three vehicles and the infrastructure to support those launches have brought on rapid growth across all Rivian locations. We require strong teams to deliver against our goals this year, from our People team to Operations and Commercial. Knowing the ambitious schedule ahead (and the realities of working during a pandemic), we remain vigilant about team wellness. All full-time employees have unlimited paid time off, and we train team managers to ensure their direct reports take the time they need away from work. We can only do our best work if we’re feeling our best—should you feel this has not been your experience, please reach out to your People Partner directly so we can support you further. Thank you, The Rivian Team

Vantaggi

- Great exposure to the product - Amazing teammates, boots on the ground collaboration - Onboarding is really well done - they take this part seriously and I appreciate that.

Svantaggi

- Limited growth - Constantly worried whether your department is getting laid off. - I've worked at plenty of other startups and EV companies and this one is by far the worst. - Zero job security unless you're JR
