Pros

Taking away hard lessons for what to look for as red flags in future job opportunities . I’m currently looking to leave and there are many red flags here to learn from

Cons

Where to begin? a lot of toxic people, a facade of brand values that management doesn’t really stand behind, employee discrimination and harassment is perpetuated, no work life balance and unqualified talent. Real talent will, and should, run away fast. Also, HR and management will turn a blind eye to mistreatment of employees

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m very sorry that you’ve had the kind of experience that not only gives you this impression of Rivian, but that you’re also considering ending your journey with us. We are currently establishing ways to open communication and feedback channels, which will enable us to effectively raise and escalate concerns. As Chief People Officer, I can assert that employee mistreatment, discrimination, or harassment of any kind would never be knowingly tolerated here. You’ve raised some very serious concerns here and we would like to have an opportunity to improve your individual situation. If you haven’t already reached out to your local People Partner or myself, please do so as soon as you can. Thanks in advance, 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
