I applied online. I interviewed at Rivian (Santa Clara, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
Initial Round of telephonic interview. The Interviewer was too arrogant during the entire process. He wanted specific details and not generic when it comes to explanations. He stressed on every word I used in the answer and trying to link to various terminologies. He never even had the patience to interview the candidate with interest. Looks like he was given this interviewing task forcefully. Hardly 2 questions and he jumps to conclusion of my explanations. It wasn't the expected kind of behavior an interviewer should have though.

Interview
The first step was a phone screening to review my resume. 1 week later I had a phone interview with the Department Manager to review my qualifications and the open position, he mentioned he had 2 positions to fill. 2 weeks later was a series of video conference interviews in lieu of an on-site visit. The interview went very well and I was told the decision would be made in 1 week. It has been 5 weeks now and each time I reach out I am told it will be another 2 weeks for a decision.

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me in LinkedIn and asked if I would be interested. They had me fill out some employee application like it was 1999. It asked about precious job, previous company sizes and other checkboxes that you would see on paper applications... Like are you a veteran and stuff. I filled it out and sent to the recruiter. A few days later I received a rejection email. I did not make it a technical screen
