I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Rivian
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me, and set up a meeting invite.
I waited for 10 minutes before I sent him another email to remind him.
He called me right after the email, but without any explanation and the whole conversation was condescending.
Also he didn't quite understand the technical requirements between different positions, assuming you're fit based on some keywords.
After he's told that the position is not fit for me, he proposed to send me some other JD that might be relevant, but never sent the email afterwards.
A total waste of time.
