Pros

Good benefits - health, dental and vision. Unlimited PTO

Cons

There is a similar culture here like that of another notorious company located in Los Gatos California, they hire quick and fire fast. There are people in the organization that somehow had no experience but got promoted and barely do any work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m sorry to hear your Rivian journey has come to a close. As Chief People Officer, I’d have a hard time disagreeing with your advice. Setting clear expectations up front and investing in guidance and support are key to setting people up for success. One of my goals is to help Rivian build deeper competencies in these areas. Good luck in your new role! Thank you, Helen.

Pros

- 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.

Cons

- 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
