Pros
Rivian is an awesome company to work for. The CEO is brilliant, the senior leadership team is well qualified and top notch, and the company's mission is truly authentic and inspiring. One of my favorite aspects about Rivian is the culture. There is a huge emphasis on collaboration and working as a team, and everyone here is passionate about the products we're building. The environment will challenge you to do some of your best work, so it's definitely not a walk in the park. As RJ says, "we're trying to build a plane and fly it at the same time". The fact that we're building an EV company from scratch makes it that much more exciting and rewarding.
Cons
As with any company undergoing a significant growth phase, Rivian is trying to keep its roots and culture intact which is quite challenging to do. I think in the long term and with continued focus on hiring the right people, we will get there.
