The process was a bit long and time-consuming, but communication with the recruiter throughout the process was great. Made it to the final round and ended up having 4 rounds of interviews over a 3 week period.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rivian in Sep 2021
Interview
Standard interview process. Started with a phone screen with a recruiter, followed by an interview with a hiring manager and a panel afterwards. Nothing too out of the norm. The process was ok overall
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Rivian in Sep 2021
Interview
I received an email from a recruiter that HM revised my resume and would like to chat. After researching online that a past company HM worked for had a very toxic culture, I knew that I wouldn't work for that HM because the toxic culture most likely embedded me. Out of common courtesy, I showed up for an interview. HM was super rude, condescending, and had 0 empathy. Within 1 minute, I knew that I wouldn’t work for the HM.
I got an email on Sunday from a recruiter I did not get selected, which shows there is no work-life balance. I am so glad I dodged the bullet. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.
