I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rivian (New York, NY)
Interview
Interviewer showed up 15+ minutes late, let alone an apology, he did not even acknowledge he was late. Wanted playbook not genuine answers. Was distracted throughout, and ended interview early.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Rivian (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2020
Interview
Interview process was normal HR call then panel round. they made me talk to 6 different interviewers of 45 mins each.
Interview process was like regular PM questions however at the end they declined saying you dont have automotive industry experience.
Advice: The job description does not mention anywhere automotive experience is needed. instead of going through several rounds of interview with undecisive team it would be smart to ask them if they are looking to get someone from automotive. Also ask them what they are looking which is obviously not mentioned in the JD that way you respect your own time even if they dont care.
